Parkrun Ireland recently had a nice article on their website about Kanturk and Tralee runner John Robinson.
Back in the day, John was a member of Mallow AC and was a regular on the road race circuit. If memory serves me right, he used to be clipping along at sub 6-min miles for a lot of races because I can remember struggling to stay with him!
In more recent times when the Ballycotton Summer Series was still going, John was the person who compiled the overall series results. There were 4 races in the series and as soon as John Walshe had sent out the results, John Robinson would be putting all the data into an Excel file to figure out who was who and whether they had moved up or down overall.
John as can be seen from the article is also a big supporter of the parkrun movement and of the Tralee parkrun in particular. He drives to Tralee every Saturday from Kanturk to take part in the 5k event and to help out. And if this wasn't enough, he's often back the next day as well to help out with the junior 2k event!
Looking at his stats, John has completed an impressive 293 parkruns with a whopping 349 volunteer credits.
