My Nendy was Bowling parkrun in Bradford and I ran it yesterday. It was surprisingly hilly!

Did Bowling Park a few weeks ago. It is hilly isn't it?

You'd think a Bowling Park would be flat ;-)

Without thinking of it as such, I think I did my Nendy last week. This week, I got my p-index to 7.

With Inverness having a new location and a new name does that mean I have to do it a newbie?

I think you should run it anyway, though I'm not sure on what the results history will say. Have they kept all previous results in the new website or is it Year 0?

They haven't taken the historical record over (like eg Glasgow/Pollok) and there is still an Inverness parkrun page (event discontinued) so I'd say yes, LG. Well, if you want to. No- one will force you to ;-)

I had that with a local parkrun a few years ago. One parkrun closed but the core team set up a different one nearby with a new name and parkrun page

Yes Torvean is classed as a new event separate from Inverness, with the latter discontinued as Dvorak says. I think because it’s a different park not just a change of course? At least it means any alphabeteers who ran Inverness won’t complain about losing their I, which does sound painful. Just hope they didn’t ask them for another £4k, which also sounds painful.
