Double celebration for Scarborough AC press officer Mick Thompson as club take over North Yorkshire Water Park parkrun

Mick Thompson, front, celebrates his landmarks at the North Yorkshire Water Park Parkrun

There was a record total of 76 club members that took part in the latest event at Wykeham, and 22 helped organise the 5km run.

The event coincided with two club members’ landmark total of parkruns, Mike Padgham completed his 250th and club press officer Mick Thompson his 100th.

It was also a notable occasion for Mick who reached a total of reporting on 5,000 club events since taking over as press officer in April 2004, for the then Scarborough Evening News.

Mike Padgham and Mick Thompson celebrate their landmarks.

There was something of a carnival atmosphere at the event with many club members wearing ginger coloured wigs in memory of Padgham’s younger days when he had ginger hair!

Some excellent results were achieved and especially Annie O’Sullivan who set a new female course record with a PB 18.10 and finishing ahead of all but the first four men and fifth overall of 217.

Paul Lawton finished second, with a PB, to the experienced Dominic Hackney who completed his 185th Parkrun.

Even with the above average entry, 10 SAC members achieved age group wins.
