The weekend started with the popular Southend Parkrun, Gunners Park, which was won in 17:37 by Ian Anthony of Havering Mayesbrook AC, with Dean Reeve (unattatched) second in 20:23 and Andrew Doig (Pitsea RC) 3rd in 20:50.
A total of 131 runners took part with 31 personal bests being set so well done to all!
The Southend Athletics Club’s Mens Team were in action on Saturday in their second round of the British Athletics League, competing at the Linford Christie Stadium in London.
