At the same venue fellow veteran Ian Shield clocked up his 150th parkrun while long distance specialists Davie Hogg and Robin Pate both exceeded 1000 miles of running in 2017 by completing the 5knm course at Craigtoun Park.

In addition there were new PBs for Karen Richards, Nicole Kelly, Lynsay Bell and Dawn Watson as their recent hard work in training continued to show benefits.

Members were also in action in other areas of the Kingdom, recording more terrific times.

The outstanding Leven Las Vegas parkrun performance of the day however was at Kirkcaldy on Saturday morning where Jim Dunstan smashed his previous best and broke the 23 minute barrier in the process.
