BRETT JONES 10K
With torrential rain and warm winds threatening the start of
the 4th annual Brett Jones ‘HEAVYWEIGHT’ 10K Fun Run,
over 100 senior runners and 25 junior’s turned up to pay
tribute to the memory of Brett whilst raising funds for the
Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, Wallasey Amateur Boxing
Club and Prenton Rugby Club.
A sea of blue memorial t-shirts paraded the now familiar route
along the Wirral coastline. The quickest time posted on the
day was Gregg Jones in 35:58 from Wallasey Athletics club and
the quickest female was Zoe Brunton from Merseytri clocking
43:43. There were memorable moments ‘Boxing with Brett’
at the turn point and the familiar ringing of the ‘Last Half
Memorial Bell’.
Congratulations to all the runners, joggers, walkers, pram-
pushers, dog walkers and wig-wearers for making this such
a special event. The rain did stop and the sun did shine with
plenty of hugs and smiles crossing the finish line. A huge
thanks as always to Hoylake Community Centre, The Brett
Jones event organisers, helpers, marshalls, time keepers,
masseurs, photographers and Neston 2375 Squadron of Air
Cadets. Presentations were made at a well-attended prize
giving evening held at Prenton Rugby Club. We look forward
to welcoming you for some more ‘HEAVYWEIGHT’ fun
again next year.
