The First Lady home was none other then JLRC coach Karen Wilton accompanied as always by her loyal dog Cassie and they trotted home in a fantastic time of 21 minutes and 27 seconds.

There were two Parkrun milestones and they were both from JLRC members.

On Saturday some of the Jog Lisburn crew took on the NI Civil Service Athletic’s Club Cross Country race at Stormont.

The lads Andrew Willis (not so fresh from his 22 minutes 100th Parkrun earlier) and Stephen McCullough took on the four mile, gruelling four loop challenge.

While the ladies Debbie McConnell, Laura Johnston and myself (Aideen Hanna) completed three miles (three loops). Great fun was had by all.
