Fell off my bike in the snow three times on the way up & encouraged @KinkyS to kick on for F1 despite going off course and losing half a minute getting back. That is probably the most important thing I've done marshaling a parkrun, which is a good thing. (Did once stand for 45 minutes in front of the car of an entitled couple who were absolutely determined to drive through a 10k course)

Badger 28 Oct 10:48pm, 28 Oct 2024 17,465 posts	0 Badger Overachiever! It took me 15 months to get round to running it. I would be worried if I couldn't beat that first time, given that my last 52 parkruns have been faster than that and the 53rd was ankle-deep mud.

GeneHunt59 29 Oct 8:07am, 29 Oct 2024 3,883 posts	0 GeneHunt59 Loved reading the early posts about getting the event set up, especially the excitement and enthusiasm looking forward to it starting up. I ran it in 2016 in 23.34 i think. There is probably a link already on here somewhere, but here is link to photos from inaugural: facebook.com
