Parkrunners Assemble - reviving the thread that will remind you "do not forget you barcode"

Was walking to my local parkrun and it got cancelled last minute due to a tree on the path😫. Not enough time to make it to another one😞

Got my volunteer of all trades badge today by doing the course check. Really felt it in my legs for the parkrun but good to get done extra miles in. We are a lapped course so just under 4 k extra.

@miked99 That’s a good question! I got my 250 in the summer. Slowly working my way towards my double ton at my home run. Trying to pick up new courses when I can (which is not that often) but I am heading off to do my nendy tomorrow which I am excited about!

Ha yeah it was!

The volunteers were great though, someone had bulk bought some cowbells, all the volunteers had them🤣.

My husband and 2 year old were with me (great playground)- they were cheering me on as i was crossing the line and DD ran after me so was an unofficial parkrun finisher that day🤣 (i was very slow so no other runners around).

Was that the one in Bury @NatMoz ?

I was visiting my parents this weekend and there is a new Parkrun near their house so decided to do that before heading over. Oh my it was muddy! The volunteer team were just amazing though! Also got another C for Pirates challenge. Now on 4 Cs and an R! Only 3 Cs to go!

Another run around my local and finally completed stopwatch bingo! All pure chance, I didn’t game it. It was a lovely day for running too.

Volunteering for me today- at Concord arkrun in Sheffield.

Lovely 2 lap course - will definitely go back to run it one Saturday.

Core team are dedicated bunch - most of them volunteer every week!

Hello everyone, I woke up super-late this morning but it was such a lovely day that I threw on my running gear and went anyway even though I knew I'd miss the start. It took me half a lap (of 2 and a half) to catch the tail walker. Ended up walking most of the route with a friend, then we did a little run through the finish funnel and I missed that blooming stopwatch bingo by one second - oh well there is always next week.

Went to my NENDY today which has been the same place for years but just a bit too far away without a reason to make the journey. Beautiful morning for it, lovely views and a good group of us there. Fab parkrun morning.

Need to get up soon to go and do a new to me parkrun. My reason for this one is that I need to pick something up at IKEA and it’s the nearest one to it 😃

Well done @Lemonyyy , I love doing a different course for a change and I always end up running a bit faster/harder than on my home course. I had a decent run round my local one, it was very rainy but not windy and not too cold so I can’t complain

Did a new parkrun in my city today, had fallen into the trap of always doing my nearest but am doing a 10k at the park of this further one next week so thought I’d get the lay of the land. It was an out and back, straight uphill then straight down and I found it super hard up but was my second best time for a parkrun ever so feeling pleased! Very wet feet though!

A fantastic holiday tourist parkrun yesterday with lots of other chatty tourists, sunshine and views.

I was a tourist this week - very friendly event it was too. They were short of barcode scanners, so (injured) DH did a bit of on the spot voluntourism too

Took DH along with me today - he used to run and has been getting back into it recently. I quite enjoyed going at his pace - was a nice easy one for me 😊

Most of our locals were back to normal this week. One still flooded off; they had a rough winter in 19/20 too. That park doesn't like drying out.

Business as usual for me. A solo steady run at my roll out of bed run.

Worcester was unpleasant. Trails and sodden fields. Concentrated on staying upright. Possibly in Leeds next week.

Hi everyone, we did a run/swim double at Milton Country Park (formerly known as Cambridge) parkrun this morning. Lovely trail through trees and a nice dip in the lake afterwards. I slowed down at the end to let a little girl sprint past me at the finish - so missed my elusive stopwatch bingo by 2 seconds. So near and yet so far!

I'm in Worcester tomorrow night for a concert so I'm going to do theirs this week. I expect it to be soggy. Possibly Leeds next week.

Loads were cancelled near me as they are all along rivers which were high/flooding. Went to my local one half a mile away for ease.

Not at Parkrun this Saturday as I'm off on a spa weekend instead!

Late to this but I was at Fulham Palace which was also celebrating its 10th birthday. It was incredibly wet.

Glorious day for walking around junior parkrun. Our 5k was flooded off yesterday (as were all within 40 minutes) but we're not on the worst affected section of their course. It wasn't as boggy as I thought, and while lighter on numbers than usual, it was a healthy turnout. It was a curcuitous route to get there though past the logistics of flood gates, road closures and incompatible one-way systems.
