David asked fellow club members to commemorate his father by wearing the club running top in his memory, writes Thomas Fynn.

The parkrun events team were also informed during the week that another parkrun regular had passed away, Jim Roberts of Driffield Striders, who was well known by all that attended and will be sorely missed.

A chilly morning greeted 197 attendees to the 560th event in the parkrun calendar, and it was a straight 1-2-3 for the Bridlington men.

Nick Jordan was the first finisher in 19:33 followed in by club teammate Paul Good only five seconds later.

There was a battle for third place as Adam Dyas saw off first timer Katelyn Walker, who was first lady finisher, by a second to make it a clean sweep for the home club.
