bgoefc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 3.249m parkrun entries in 2015, counting each appearance of all registered runners. Million? got to be total entries and not individual surely? how many individuals took part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Million? got to be total entries and not individual surely? how many individuals took part? Don't know how many took part during the year, but there are over 750,000 who have updated their details. The weekly turnout is (obviously) in excess of 60,000.

ex_midlandwhite Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was timekeeping at Cannon Hill parkrun in Birmingham today. We had 745 runners. It's incredible how parkrun has become pretty big really, the guy who started it must have done a fair bit for many people in this country.

It's incredible how parkrun has become pretty big really, the guy who started it must have done a fair bit for many people in this country. I did timekeeping a couple of weeks back at Bolton. Good fun and an eye opener seeing what goes on behind the scenes whiles we are out on the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Not doing it again. I am quite quick and have posted some decent times but there is a 10 year old girl in the BEN tonight who finished it a minute faster than I ever have.

jayjayoghani Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I congratulated myself on going sub-23 mins for the first time a few weeks back. But some dude in the 70-74 age group trounces me every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites man Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 NZ's Malcolm? I see many similarities between the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I see many similarities between the 2. The only connection between Parkrun results and me is both are broken down by age and sex. The nippy NZer is probably Johns Shivas of Port Hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead83 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yippee, knocked a second off my pb at Boltons course. Watch your back Mr Farah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 There's a kid posted a 13.44 time at Crosby today. 15-17 age group. Think Farah holds British record at 5k around 12.53ish. Can't see it being right. Get him running that hill at Leverhulme. .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon it's a quicker course looking at times.. Also less runners to get past or get in the way. few minutes quicker than second though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Reckon it's a quicker course looking at times.. Also less runners to get past or get in the way. few minutes quicker than second though It's an out and back course (tarmac, grass and sand!). Last week he ran the course for the first time finishing third in a leading group of four or five in 19:58. This week he was alone. My view is that he inadvertantly ran the junior 3k because a marshall told him to turn around thinking he was in that event. He was third in the Merseyside u17 c-c championship this season, and was ninth in a league race recently behind a Horwich RMI runner.

Site Supporter only1swanny Posted January 31, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2016 Would make sense, I don't know the course, wouldn't mind trying that one. All for the walking atm, 3 Peaks in May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Would make sense, I don't know the course, wouldn't mind trying that one. On 9 January he was third in the Merseyside u17 C-C Championship. The pair who finished over a minute ahead of him were yesterday 4th and 8th in the Northern u17 Championship at Witton Park, Blackburn (where I might have been but for the home cup match). On 16th January he was ninth in a Mid-Lancs League u17. The first six in that race all ran at Witton yesterday, finishing 13th, 14th, 22nd, 32nd, 46th and 9th, respectively.

Big E Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Looking at doing Bolton Park Run in the new year. is there any decent cafes round and about folk would suggest. Also how often is it cancelled due to weather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 It's only a couple of miles out of town. Get down to A Taste of Greece afterwards, they do a cracking full English. I might join you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Parkrun is great, I don’t do it myself anymore - prefer to train alone really, but I did jr Parkrun with the little ones and my nephew last time we were in Bolton at Queen’s Park - fair old hill on that. Did a quick 6k after it whilst the kids had breakfast, decent little circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Yeah I'm pretty lucky that I live in a valley so despite being down south all my local runs have decent hills in at some point. Certainly helps when doing flatter, faster runs. The local park runs at Bromley or Beckenham though are flat as a witches' tit which is another reason I'm not that keen on them.
