01/04/2017 - Ivanhoe gorilla wins Conkers !


There was a shock at Conkers parkrun this morning as the Ivanhoe Runners gorilla finished first of the 435 participants, clocking an incredible 17.56. The runners name remains a mystery however as they declined to produce a bar-code for scanning. The two usual wearers of the Ivanhoe gorilla suit, famous in race such as the Ashby 20 and the London marathon, are Tim Sturla and Ian Kirk, however both denied being the mystery winner and indeed neither would be likely capable of that time over 5k. So, the mystery will remain!
