Parklands Jog and Run

Our 13th consecutive year at Endure24! 24 hours of running on a testing 5 mile trail lap which this year got very wet & muddy. Nearly 40 PJR members attended in total running in a variety of teams, pairs & solos. Hundreds of miles were ran, personal & team goals were smashed & once again we even came home with a trophy!

15 years of PJR! We set up as a running group for beginners & have grown to achieve some major successes over the years while continuing to welcome newcomers of all ability levels all the time. I’ve purposely never affiliated PJR as a club so that we can provide a unique base for members of all the local running clubs to come together to train. We’ve had hundreds of people come to our sessions over the years as well as a lovely set of consistent members. From our legendary pub runs to our epic Endure 24 weekends. Here’s to many more years to come!

This morning we did a takeover of University of Northampton parkrun filling the volunteer roster & supplying pacers. Thanks & well done to all who helped out.

Well done to Neil who was repping for us out in Canada today & came 1st in his age category at the Toronto 10k. 🥇👏🏻

What an achievement for these 2 amazing ladies! Isle of White Ultra completed. 107k. 19hrs 50 for Nay & 21:41 for Nicola. Both trained so hard for this & their hard work has paid off 👏🏻👏🏻

Congratulations to our 6 members who took on the iconic London Marathon on Sunday.

A massiveve PB for Laura knocking over 10 mins off her previous best, a brilliant effort from Jen who run 4:33 just 7 days after running a sub 4 PB in Manchester, Kevin clocked another sub 4 hour marathon, Jason got close to his best time even when struggling with a hip injury in the last 10 miles & Emily became a marathon runner for the first time as Steve ended his very impressive run of London marathons.

Well done to all our Manchester Marathon runners last Sunday. Big PB’s for Jen, Tony & David & a strong run from Erin too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A huge well done to Claire Dixon who ran her 400th parkrun last Saturday 👏🏻

Congratulations to Leon who completed the Paris marathon last week. Comfortably under 4 hours. A very creditable first marathon, especially at such a young age 👏🏻👏🏻
