FASTEST AND SLOWEST PARKRUNS 2023 – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
Pegwell Bay is now believed to be the fastest parkrun course in the UK with Great Yarmouth North Beach being the toughest. Pegwell Bay in Kent has been declared the fastest parkrun by statistician and runner TIM GROSE with events in Bromley, Poole and Hull hot on its heels. GROSE is the brains behind the Power of 10 website and he has used a slightly different method to rank the estimated 760 current parkruns in Britain.
The former No.1 at Victoria Dock in London has now dropped down to 44th in GROS’SE new list, whereas there is some mild controversy over the new No.1 Pegwell Bay as there are suspicions that it is not quite 5km in distance. However, organisers state on their website: “The course is 5000m long and has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. It consists of a two laps of the Pegwell Bay Country Park consisting of gravel trail for the entire route. “Along the route runners will benefit from the most amazing coastal views across Pegwell Bay towards Ramsgate, in addition to views along the nature reserve and intertidal mud flats that year on year attracts many wildlife enthusiasts due to its national and international waders and wildfowl.” Pegwell Bay’s course records are held by CHRIS OLLEY with (14:17) and BOBBY CLAY with (16:14) but GROSE uses a ‘standard scratch score’ to calculate his rankings which uses the times of all particpants.
Fastest parkruns in the UK (as of April 2023) – 1 Pegwell Bay Country Park; 2 Bromley; 3 Poole; 4 Hull; 5 MUSA Cookstown, N.Ireland; 6 Belfast Victoria; 7 Worthing; 8 Harwich; 9 Widnes; 10 King’s Lynn; 11 Hastings; 12 Walsall Arboretum; 13 Long Eaton; 14 Victory; 15 Market Rasen Racecourse; 16 Stretford; 17 Southend; 18 Storeys Field; 19 Swansea Bay; 20 Perth. Notable courses further down on the list are Dulwich in south London which is now 23rd, Cardiff is now 39th, the Eden Project event in Cornwall was previously No.5 on the list but is now 92nd and the original parkrun venue of Bushy Park in London is 115th. The 2022 parkrun ‘fastest and slowest’ rankings are here.
Toughest or slowest parkruns (as of April 2023) – 1 Great Yarmouth North Beach; 2 Whinlatter Forest, Cumbria; 3 Woolacoombe Dunes, Devon; 4 Durlston Country Park, Dorset; 5 Mount Edgcumbe, Cornwall. The leading ‘toughest’ courses are largely unchanged from GROSE’S previous rankings. Great Yarmouth North Beach is largely flat but is held on loose sand and is possibly the only parkrun that doesn’t have a course record of inside 20 minutes.
WAS THE 2023 LONDON MARATHON THE MOST DRAMATIC IN HISTORY – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
With so many incidents and storylines it is hard to remember a more action-packed weekend since the event began in 1981. Feared disruption from environmental protestors did not materialise at this year’s TCS London Marathon but the event still produced more than enough drama. Perhaps more than on any occasion in its long history. As the dust settles on the British capital, here are nine storylines from the 2023 race.
HASSAN the drama queen – Surely there has never been an elite women’s race so packed with excitement? Dropped from the lead group and finding herself around half a minute behind the leaders, SIFAN HUSSAN stopped to stretch before mounting an incredible comeback. With 2km to go she almost collided with a motorbike after suddenly veering across the road to grab a drink. Soon afterwards she won a three-way sprint down The Mall to claim victory on her debut. It was brilliant, breathless stuff.
An unpopular theory – HASSAN’S (2:18:33) was one of the slowest winning times in recent years. If BRIGID KOSGEI had rolled up in her (2:14) shape, or PERES JEPCHIRCHIR, ALMAZ AYANA or YALAMZERF YEHUALAW in their previous (2:17) form, would the Dutch athlete have been able to get back into contention? PAULA RADCLIFFE from 20 years earlier would have been almost an entire kilometre further up the road, for example. On Sunday the leaders were on schedule to run (2:17) for much of the race as well but slowed, unwittingly allowing HASSAN to catch them. Still, the Olympic 5000m and 10,000m champion could only beat the best on the day – and, who knows, she may have run even harder and faster if she’d needed to!
Off-road controversies – Away from the races themselves there was intrigue and controversy behind the scenes relating to commercial aspects alone. EILISH MCCOLGAN’S much-publicised sponsorship dispute aside, the men’s winner KELVIN KIPTUM appears to have got mixed up in an even bigger row with the Kenyan racing in Nike despite reportedly having a deal with Chinese brand Qiaodan. Then there was the strange case of KOSGEI, who dropped out only three minutes, sparking theories that she only started to fulfil some of her race fee requirements.
Kawauchi’s crazy racing calendar – The Japanese runner YUKI KAWAUCHI has earned a reputation for being a prolific racer. He often runs a marathon roughly once every month but in 2018 sprang to fame by winning the Boston Marathon men’s title. In London on Sunday he was the fastest non-elite competitor with (2:13:18). Impressively he has already run three marathons already in 2023, too, with victories at the Ishigakijima (2:18:05) and Saga Sakura (2:11:32) events and 12th place at the Osaka Marathon (2:07:35).
Innes FitzBrilliant – INNES FITZGERALD is undoubtedly the most exciting young distance runner in Britain right now. Just 17, she has swept all before her in recent months with victories in the English Schools, English National and Inter-Counties cross-country championships before successfully defending her Mini London Marathon under-17 crown. She is also one of the most interesting athletes in the country, too. Her environmental principles are well known after she chose to skip a trip to the World Cross Country Championships in Australia this year due to aircraft emissions. But on Sunday the West Country athlete headed from the Mini Marathon to “the big one” protest in central London where she was part of the Champions for Earth group at the demonstration.
Mini marvels – Last year the Mini London Marathon was moved from Sunday to Saturday to give it its own slot in the spotlight rather than being a buried and potentially over-looked on the ‘main marathon’ day. It has proved a good move and is the only realistic way that organisers can also grow the event from its current 7000 participants to an ambitious target of 50,000. Next year they should consider expanding the post-race presentation area, though. Currently the ceremony unfolds fairly quietly in an enclosed area close to the finish line and features only the championship and London Boroughs race winners, with stars like ELIUD KIPCHOGE and JAKE WIGHTMAN presenting prizes. AW hears that a few silver and bronze medallists have felt a little left out, though, after being handed a voucher as their reward and then told they are free to leave.
Relentless rise of super shoes (and CGMs) – If you felt self-conscious as a club runner wearing super shoes three or four years ago, the scenario has flipped on its head. It is increasingly hard to spot any of the quicker or more committed runners wearing ‘traditional shoes’. Indeed, even in the Mini Marathon the majority of kids are wearing fast footwear these days. While it’s unlikely this will catch on in quite the same way, another trend seems to be the use of continuous glucose monitors (or CGMs) with runners like SIFAN HUSSEIN sporting a sensor on her upper left arm. These help runners plot their pre and mid-race fuelling strategies and are becoming all the rage with runners like ELIUD KIPCHOGE and EILISH MCCOLGAN also using them. Look out for a review on them in the May issue of AW magazine.
Kudos to FARAH – Amid all the medals and the media coverage, it’s easy to forget that MO FARAH is a tough little character who never shies away from a scrap. He’s threatened to get involved in charity boxing in the past and of course his gritty nature has helped him endure countless gruelling training sessions and races. Running long distances, after all, is a pain game. We were reminded of this on Sunday when despite an underwhelming 10km warm-up race in Gabon a fortnight earlier he started the race in determined fashion and, rising to the occasion, was still leading EMILE CAIRESS as the No.1 Brit at halfway. Following this Father Time caught up with him and the 40-year-old faded to third Brit as PHIL SESEMANN out-kicked him in the final metres. He resisted the temptation to drop out, though, and his 2:10:28 smashed ANDY DAVIES British M40 record by almost four minutes as he went down fighting.
THOMMO tears up – Finally, my moment of the weekend goes to another British veteran runner, CHRIS THOMSON, who unexpectedly choked up during this post-race chat below on Sunday. THOMMO, 42, wears his heart on his sleeve and, while he might not be the fastest British marathon man these days, he is still running impressive times and remains the undisputed and undefeated champion of media interviews.

FACEBOOK – Photographs can be found on the SBH page.
CAN YOU HELP PLEASE– I would welcome any contributions From Yourselves, any impending marriages, or additions to the family, any running or competing incidents, also past warm weather training/holidays (No Club 24 please). Currently the response has been excellent, but if you have anything that could make it into next week’s Newsletter – please email me.
CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF SHAFTESBURY INFORMATION – Currently I notify members (by email) using “MailChimp”. The reason I changed, was in November 2017 “Gmail” put a limit of 100 addresses that users could send to in a 24-hour period, and currently I send to approximately 850 members each issue.
On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward. There is one thing you should be aware off is that when you receive an email from me, the footer at the bottom has 4 options, of which one is “Unsubscribe Me From List”. Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.
