Yep, 4th one ever. Used to be monthly at 9:30am back when non-conformity was allowed!

*whispers* Some non-conformity is still allowed in juniors. One of the local junior parkruns starts at 10am... or maybe it just hasn't been noticed. Shhh!

Mile End juniors starts a 9:30, nearby London Fields starts at 9:00
My understanding is that once upon a time, EDs had the choice of start time, but all new ones now have to start at 9. Existing ones were given the option to change, but Mile End elected not to do so.

Pitshanger juniors used to be a 9:30 start (I thought they'd all changed to 9 after the restart).

Caused a slight problem for one of our marshals who was also a volunteer there.

She thought we had the same start time, meandered her way slowly to us, tubing she had loads of time, arrived at 8:59. Back in the days when we stressed over whether we had enough volunteers or not!
