Our "Parkrun on Tour" continued with our fourth different parkrun in South London. This time, we were back to face the hills again after testing the waters at Brockwell parkrun in February. We had finally arrived at Hilly Fields! Famously notorious for...hills (would you believe?!). A 3-lap course that had not one but two hills to tackle each lap!

It seems to be a regular theme with these "Parkruns on Tour" that we bring the sunshine. With great conditions, 10 GoodGymers from GG Barnet, Ealing, Greenwich, Hammersmith & Fulham, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark and Tower Hamlets were ready to get going!

We all lined up for the start and then off we went! Setting our own pace, here were the results:

  1. Harvey - 19th (21:14)
  2. Sam - 35th (22:41)
  3. Matt - 76th (25:29)
  4. Jacqui - 98th (27:07)
  5. Gaivile - 114th (27:55)
  6. Laura - 124th (28:18)
  7. Maria - 140th (29:18)
  8. Kim - 145th (29:48)
  9. Dave - 158th (30:44)
  10. Aine - 193rd (34:58)

After the parkrun and a group photo, we made our way to the Hilly Fields Cafe for a hot beverage and some had breakfast too!

Well done everyone and looking forward to seeing you on another "Parkrun on Tour". The next one we'll be heading to Tooting on Saturday 28th of May. A crossover for the GG Lambeth and Wandsworth crew! Check the details and sign up here!
