Not sure about where else but Graves started off overcast and a little on the chilly side, but as the run progressed the sun broke out and became a lovely day for parkrun.

 

Over 92000 ran parkrun across the UK on Saturday - and the numbers continue to rise.

 

Happy running!

The Pirate is back after a Grand Slam of all the French parkruns. They were very good too, small events with a really friendly vibe. We were hoping to top their most events page but a chap called Peter Fordham flew down to Toulouse especially for their first event 3 weeks ago and beat us to it. Our 100% record only lasts till this weekend due to another event starting near Dijon.

N.B. - It only takes 3 different events to get on their most events page

 

The bad news about Little Stoke had made it across the parkrun community to France. I hope the runners down in Bristol find another venue a.s.a.p. I don't think that the Councillors down there realise national and international 'reach' of parkrun and they have tainted the former good name of their community for decades to come.

Christmas Day and New Years Day are the only extra parkruns.

 

At almost all parkrun events there are large numbers of people who are recovering from, or who have serious conditions and many who are finding their way back to fitness. Therefore, there are systems in place to deal with falls and collapses and our the tail runner is briefed with this in mind. As to an actual protocol I don't know try parkrun HQ.

Have you had a fall? or witnessed an incident?

It's impossible for event directors to take responsibility for anyone and everyone. Mostly people they don't know and have never seen before.

 

If I ever saw anyone collapse, it would just be a 999. Same as if I saw a stranger collapse while out running normally.

 

Strange question though...
