Report and results from Saturday's Bolton parkrun

The Bolton United Harrier clocked 16mins 22secs, one minute and 28 seconds ahead of the second finisher, Tom Carson.

PBs are nothing new to 30-34 age-category runner Darcy, who has improved his time on seven of his last 10 appearances around the track, trails and pathways of Leverhulme Park, including his last three.

Saturday’s time on the 5k course was 10 seconds faster than his previous Bolton parkrun in June of last year.

Nigel Smith also set a new PB in recording his highest-ever finishing position.

The 50-54 age-group runner, who only took up parkrun 19 months ago to mark his 50th birthday and has completed the challenging Bolton course 74 times since, crossed the finish line in seventh position in 20:32, three seconds faster than his previous best set seven appearances ago.

Further down the field in 197th position, Martin Smith set a new PB on his 69th run at Bolton.

It was the 60-64 age-category runner’s first PB in his last 27 appearances, and his 31:11 was 25 second faster than his previous fastest time.
