165, it's not according to Fetch though is it? You put your own data in.

Parkrun is a race if you race it.

51 x Marathons
8 x Half-Marathons
6 x 10k
5 x 5 miles
1 x 5k

Of these, four 5-milers are not on Fetch, either because the distance was significantly reduced prior to the event or that I can't locate my finishing time from the 1980's. Or, that I simply can't be bothered to create an old race in my portfolio!

Parkrun isn't a race, even if you think you are racing it WS. As well you know! :-P There's no good way to exclude them in race counting in Fetch though. Excel is the only way! :-) G

My profile says 125, but I'm not sure if that includes ones in my portfolio that I haven't done yet. It will include the two parkruns I left in there because those were significant PB attempts.

A quick count says;

6 OW swimming
4 5k races (not including parkruns)
17 5m
23 10k
4 7m
9 10m
1 12m
20 half marathons
1 15m
2 18m
5 20m
17 marathons

6 ultras

Plus 4 24-hour races and HDS, RNR and track races.

.....but parkrun is a race in my mind...sometimes, even the Dr K celebration parkrun was a race, even though I wasn't racing flat out

I might break mine down into distances....I have fell races too

I have raced every parkrun I have ever done with at least as much effort as any other race (often more so according to the Garmin) so I will continue to count them as races unless someone can give a first principles explanation of why they do not meet all the criteria for a race - this specifically excludes "because they say so".

No idea why I'm interested, but I am. I blame Fetch for all the stats. I might send a Jelly Baby to...
