An easy one to work out, I've managed every finishing position from 1-22. Haven't yet stopped before the line and asked the timers to tell me when no 22

I went and looked at my own results there. Every position from 1-19, then 21-26. If you do enough and at various paces you are bound to hit most positions by accident

You do need some basic speed too! Or to run at French events.

My secret is pacing at some events and running with dogs of widely differing abilities.

I seem to be missing most of the single figure placings :-)

I’m 99% sure that 20th is the best result I’m ever going to get (there were only 32 runners at that parkrun that day).

Best I can hope for is to collect every finish position between 200 and 300 :)

About This Thread

Maintained by sLickster
There may be an inaugural parkrun happening near you. Best to check with the local parkrun volunteers to see if they want you to know about it or not.

Otherwise there are plenty of already established parkruns to go to in the UK and abroad, see: parkrun.org.uk
