Some friends went but haven't reported back yet (I suspect they will have found a pub somewhere en route back to the shire ;-))

680 according to someone I know who was there. That's an insane number for an inaugural. Poor things.

Yes they only had circa 450 tokens so had to write and input to the system by hand over 200 parkrunners details

Blindcider, looking at numbers I think Ashton Court was down by 100 odd on usual numbers as well as Pomprey Hill - 679 for an inaugural is nuts!

I hope this prompts some thought by the powers that be, because having 679 show up at an inaugural - whilst undoubtedly cockle-warming - is not a sustainable way to bring new events into the world.

Totally agree Grid - not sure how you can police it though.
