May Mob Match Invite – Run to the Hills
Selsdon Baptist Church Runners warmly invite you to 2015’s second inter-church mob match at Lloyd parkrun on Saturday 16 May at 09:00. Forget Benny Hill, Jimmy Hill, Harry Hill or Jessica Ennis-Hill, the only hill that matters is the Lloyd Park hill. Put those winter training miles to good use and test yourself against our friendly bump.
Faith and Fitness
Attention all walkers and runners in the Cheltenham/Gloucester area! Faith & Fitness meets every Monday evening at 6:30pm at St Andrew’s in Churchdown. Open to all ages, ALL abilities, all denominations (please invite your friends that might be interested), the cost is free.
Brighton Rocks
So an unexpectedly high number of churchrunners at Brighton Marathon – Sutton Christian Centre had father and daughter Ric and Bethany Adams running. I note the person wearing the yellow headband isn’t Ric.
Great Lines parkrun & Cornerstone Fit
About the author – Adam Voke, a Cornerstone Fit runner (also Cornerstone City Church lead-elder) has recently been awarded parkrunner of the month at Great Lines so he got a free pair of Asics Gel Kayano 21’s. Adam has been their most improved runner of late having shaved over 2 minutes off his time and breaking into the sub-20 times for a 5km distance with a PB of 19:53 recently.

I went along to the first ever parkrun, at the Great Lines in Gillingham (opposite Medway Park) in September 2013. I slogged my way round the free weekly 5K run with a ‘hurty knee’, feeling a bit sick after tackling the (slight!) hill. When I got home I felt like I had run a marathon!
Seventeen months later with fifty-four parkruns done, more than ten minutes off my time and the fitness level to run half marathons every few weeks I’ve grown to really enjoy running and I value the overall health benefits.
