The parkrun thread

Flanker is away in Ireland at the mo.

Numbers will recommence in June.

Portrush was flat but gave me my best time time year.

Portrush was flat but gave me my best time time year.

Isn't Portrush on the beach?

Can't imagine running on the beach.

I'm hoping to take in the Carrickfergus and Westport parkruns later this month when over there

Anyone (everyone?) experience an adjustment down the field this week at Sheffield Hallam? My email time no longer matches my website time (now about 10 -12 seconds slower).

Flanker is back after a delightful visit to the Emerald Isle.

Portrush, Oranmore, Bere Island, Father Collins and Comber parkruns were ticked off and everyone was a delight. As usual the smaller the better, for the parkrun community feel, I put Bere Island as the top of the list.

A quick glance over the last five Sheff&Roth attendances have shown parkrun going from strength to strength with records tumbling. No surprise that the 2k bench mark has been passed 3 time as follows:-

22nd April = 1864

29th April = 1957

6th May = 2018

13th May = 2081

20th May = 2038

Hillsborough(152.4) has recently overtaken Graves(152.3). If current trends continue Rother Valley (151.4) will soon overtake them both.

It was also mentioned on the facebook parkrun statsgeek group - This week saw runs at 38/39 parkruns in the Yorkshire & Humber region. The only cancellation was Sheffield Hallam. Since the launch of Catterick parkrun on 17 June, there has not been a single week when all 39 parkruns have been run - and there'll be a 40th starting next week! (more..)
