The parkrun thread

[jemson 10]

I wonder if a few records will tumble this weekend. Weather looks really good and that makes such a difference for most folk.

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.

It just about turned out nice again.

All the attendances were above average and the 1,500 mark was breached again. parkrun goes from strength to stregth.

[jemson 10]

Are there any extra parkruns on Monday perchance?

[rogets 141]

What happens on these runs if someone falls over while running?

 

Is there an emergency action plan and if so what is the protocol?

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...

This initiative is perfect for all who are intending to train one day for for the olympics.

OH did Preston last weekend. Nice event and they have a PB Bell that you ring if you beat your best time. Anywhere else do that?

 

Off up to Dalby Forest, North Yorks, this weekend so might give that one a go. Anyone done it?
