Grace Baker and Jamie Crowe ran the fastest parkrun times in the UK this week (Saturday 15th March).
Our weekly parkrun top ten is sponsored by the Coggiola Endurance Centre, a residential coaching and performance facility in the Italian Alps. Follow on Instagram for more updates in the new future.
Grace Baker tops the women’s rankings with the fastest parkrun time this weekend. This came at Hastings, where she crossed the finish line in 16:54. In her first parkrun outing of the year, she improved on her previous fastest time by two seconds. That was set on the same course in September 2024. This year, Grace has improved her 10k PB to 35:05 at the Chichester 10k, and there are undoubtedly plenty more improvements to come.
Top of the men’s rankings sits Jamie Crowe. At West Links parkrun in Arbroath, the Scot clocked a speedy 14:46. It is his first parkrun outing of the year after a number of cross country appearances, including a fifth place finish at the Scottish Nationals. His parkrun best of 14:23 – plus his 5k PB of 13:51 – remain a challenge for another day.
Best of the Rest
Lucy Charles and Freya Stapleton join Grace on the women’s (virtual) podium this weekend. They ran 17:11 and 17:12 at Gunpowder and Long Eaton respectively. It would be an impressively close finish, had it been at the same venue! On the men’s side, Ross Macdonald’s 15:07 at Strathclyde and Dan Garbutt’s 15:13 at Selby complete the top-three.
Another week where the now-regular Battersea does not feature on either top three lists!
Fastest Course
As the only course that appears more than once, including at the top of the women’s list, the fastest course honours this week go to Hastings. A good day to be beside the seaside!
