Adam Clarke became the third fastest parkrunner in history on a stellar day at Hastings parkrun last weekend.

Clarke, who will make his Great Britain debut at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country on Saturday January 13, clocked a superb winning time of 14 minutes and 14 seconds, knocking nine seconds off his previous course record set in March this year.

A training partner of the legendary Sir Mo Farah, Clarke now runs for Aldershot, Farnham & District AC, but started his running career with Hastings AC and still has family in the area.
