And what a day it was, rain, mud, bitter cold and even some snow, just amazing that so many of you came, and I note that without us Nonsuch would likely have been down to their lowest numbers since January 2014!

We were spread from position 2 to position 351.

Also as ever we had a grand welcome from the volunteer team (thanks to all), and a nice little mention in a very professionally delivered run briefing.

The handicap system resulted in…

St Patrick’s Tigers 1st 1331
Good Shepherd 2nd 1253
The Salvation Army 3rd 964
Refresh (Molesey) Church 4th 707
Selsdon Baptist Church Runners 5th 686

If your team did ‘less well’ this time, do not fear, that’s what the handicap system is for, have faith, and persevere. The result stayed as per our provisional top 3 on the day, but St Patrick’s lead was just a little bit bigger than at first expected.

Refresh Church let us know – “8 year old Iris Beal from Refresh Church, used to running the wide and flat Bushy parkrun, ran a personal best in the Nonsuch hills and mud! The mob match challenge obviously helped? It was also 58 year old Ian Blythe’s first ever parkrun or fun run of any type! It all started here…”

First Timers to Nonsuch were: Tom Higgs, James Lyne, Robert Lines, Alex Lyne, John Punt, Sam O’Dongo, Ian St John, Steph Ware, Wilfred Yung, James Springate, Harry Frost, Andrew Lyne, Nathan Fox, Mandy Bowyer, Ailish Atkinson, David Rowlanes, Michael Coppin, Geoff Nunn, Cleide Burgess, Sophia and David Lunn, Ti Chase, Iris Beal, Nicola Louth, Sheila Eade, Rachael & Mike Harris, Ian Blythe, Alice Caffull, Sue Elson, Vanessa Fox, Sue Springate & Janet Wickham.

Andrew Crossley was the only churchrunner present with over 250 runs, achieved since our last mob match – well done Andy.

Single lappers included Nikki Potter, Lisa Webster, William Webster, Claire Coppin, Lauren Coppin, Alex Springate, and indeed Karen Patching the sole Springfield Church Runners representative who came despite an injury to join in – good effort.
