Yeah, it has been pretty windy. I've done an 8 and a 12 so far this week. Got a daft idea about clocking 50 this week. . .

How can I find out someone's race number?

I have been telling everyone that our new parkrunner has a chance to win and they are asking me his number.

His name is Ashenafi ERKOLO, (14 parkruns 14 first finishes!)

I'm planning on parking in the city center (hope everyone else doesn't have that idea too). Will get there around 8:30. A quick change, leave my bag in the car (not sure what system they'll have this year, but after what happened last year, I'm a little anxious about leaving my bag with the organisers).

 

I'll have time to do a little jog around and warm up, will probably join the starting area pen around 10 mins before the start of the race.

 

Hope the weather's good! Good luck everyone! :)

Weathers looking close to perfect for Sunday.

 

Sunny but cool with light winds.

 

Don't think you can check race numbers pre race but you can search by name when results in.

 

Will get into town just before 9 good parking near west street/Division street no problems parking there last year.

 

Not fathing around with luggage storage even if I was on the bus would still avoid it.

 

Good luck all looking for 1.50 ish.

Brilliant. Well done there. Support was crazy. Me and OH had a great run too, paced well, finishing in 2.12.

A bit too warm for my liking!

 

Anyhow, congrats on your sub 1:50.

 

Completely agree, the people of Sheffield are truly fantastic! Wall to wall support pretty much all the way round, super friendly and supportive.

 

I was a bit slow though, have a bit of an ankle issue and not done much training to speak of. Finished 30 mins slower than last year, in 2:19.

What a fantastic day with great support and some really great performances. A word too for Steve Bailey from Radio Sheffield who did a fantastic job commentating and tried to name as many runners as possible, he should be doing the morning show rather than the early morning show

The race is getting amazing reviews on runners world with some saying its the best they have ever attended.

 

Great to see and a big plus for the organisers and the people of sheffield roll on next year which will be year 12 for me!

 

Might do Leeds but not as keen on the course.

Did Leeds last year, found it a bit bland in contrast with Sheffield. I'd only do it if I was running well and really enjoying running right now.
