It is always a very popular event at Lee with plenty of great community support for the event.

Lee had 452 finishers for the 5k which is hosted at Marine Parade East, PO13 9LB every Saturday and starts at 9am.

Keith Barron completed his 100th parkrun. Kirsty Fletcher, of Gosport Road Runners, joined the 50 club.

Rob Greenwood finished first with a time of 16min 47sec. The male record for the course is 15.59 so who knows, that might be a target in future when weather conditions are good.

Anyone who would like to take part and hasn’t so far done a parkrun should first register on the website and print a barcode which will be scanned at the finish.

All parkruns are free events. They rely on volunteers to ensure they can happen each week and this is also a great way of meeting new friends and playing a positive role in helping as people get together for the 5k.
