Bridlington Road Runner James Wilson edged out by Oliver Brown at Sewerby parkrun
The ever-popular event saw 234 participants take to the cliff tops and while many of BRR athletes were missing due to a trip organised by the club, the event saw 46 first-timers take on the undulating course with 24 of the field earning themselves a personal best, writes Thomas Fynn.
First in the field though edging out Wilson into second place overall was Oliver Brown who completed the course in a blistering time of 17:28, with James having to settle for second place with a highly respectable time of 18:08.
