Bridlington’s Phill Taylor beats the big freeze to earn Sewerby Parkrun triumph

Freezing temperatures and icy pavements continued to disrupt the plans of Bridlington Road Runners ahead of the festive season.

The club’s Christmas Handicap, the second race in the Winter League series, a 10k race around Kilham on Sunday morning was postponed.

The juniors event was also put off until a later date.

Sewerby Parkrun did go ahead on Saturday morning, but numbers were down on usual, and times were all slower as runners did well just to get round the 5km course without falling.

Phill Taylor won, two seconds ahead of Matthew Hunton, in a close finish. Alan Feldberg and Ashley Porter were in the top 10.
