Bridlington Road Runners hit top form at the 2022 McCain Yorkshire Coast 10k

A team of around 70 meant only the host club, Scarborough AC, had more runners involved and Bridlington rose to the occasion.

Many of the team returned down the coast with a PB, either for the course or for the 10k distance, despite a strong headwind making life especially difficult for the final mile or so.

James Wilson was the fastest Bridlington team member, as he took fifth place overall in 35 minutes and 20 seconds. The race was won by Harry Butterworth in 33:06, and Wilson was fastest over 40. Phill Taylor was ninth, while Joe Shepherdson, James Briggs and Nick Jordan all beat the 40-minute mark and Dan Cawthorne joined them in the top 50.

Kelly Palmer was Bridlington’s fastest woman and one of many to claim a PB, ahead of Kerry Whitehead and Diane Palmer. The club also had two juniors running, and only four seconds split Micah Gibson and Ben Edwards, who both went under 45 minutes for the first time.

Pat Bielby’s time of 53:07 made her the fastest over 70.

Further afield, Helena Smith travelled to the Amsterdam Marathon and came home with an impressive PB time.

Alan Feldberg, Clare Gummerson and Gerard Ferre were also clocking up 26.2 miles at the Yorkshire Marathon around York, Stamford Bridge and Dunnington.

At Sewerby Parkrun, despite many BRR members resting before the 10K, there were still some noteworthy performances, especially from the club’s juniors.
