Brid Road Runners returned to East Yorkshire Cross Country League action on Sunday as 24 runners took part on what was a typical muddy, slip and slide event in the grounds of Sledmere House.

This was the fourth event in the series, a seven-mile double loop in the private grounds which contains a gruelling grassy valley climb, and a treacherous technical wooded section, which ends with a sharp descent which runners can either recover or build a head of steam for the next lap, before the final sprint to the gates of Sylvias Grove.

Out of a total of 358 competitors, It was Danny Brunton who dominated the double loop bringing home first place in club rankings but finishing eighth overall.

Phill Taylor was swiftly on the heels of Brunton with a mere 11 seconds separating the pair to secure ninth, (second in BRR rankings) such was the turnout Joe Shepherdson was next in for the Yellow and Blacks in 40th position but third overall in the club standings.

For the ladies team it was a strong effort from Miriam Ireland, to finish in the top 20, and first lady home for Brid, with a strong time 55:13, veteran runner Patricia Bielby was second in 1:16:31, and really impressing at the event was Heidi Baker to finish third for BRR.

BRR Men currently sit fifth in the league standings, while the ladies are in ninth heading into the last two races of the season which will culminate at Sewerby in March.

A bumper turnout of 197 graced the clifftops and grounds of Sewerby Hall for the weekly parkrun.

Nick Jordan, Paul Good, and Steve Wilson were the top three finishers for Brid, Martin Hutchinson paced a near perfect 23 minute time. Gillian Taylor impressed with a time of 25:00 to be the first lady for Bridlington,
