Idris, that's ace. Where are you doing it?  Gobi, what number are you? I'm A8870 - people comment about how low the number is, I did a couple of parkruns in Leeds in 2007 and again in 2009 - we didn't have any near Sheffield for ages so I've only been a regular parkrunner for 10 years. Over 250 runs and 100 volunteers and lots of Saturday mornings where I couldn't be arsed. But am a bit addicted now. |

Sombrero-ho-ho-ho A1364 - they gave numbers in alphabetical order when they started the barcode system. A group of us used to travel up to Bushy every so often. |

Sombrero-ho-ho-ho I’m going to Millhouses in Sheffield as I’m combining it with a meet up of other brightly coloured running clothing people 😊 Then I’ll work on doing all the Yorkshire parkruns as I plod the long route to 250 parkruns… |

Aaahhhh, that's so close to where I live (I'm in Chesterfield) but we are away in Jersey this weekend. It's a lovely run, just gets a bit crowded at the start. |

Barcodes weren't compulsory at the start of their introduction and I didn't bother until I absolutely had to in 2010 so my number is quite high at 29122. I kind of regret resisting for so long now

KinkyS I don't remember it being optional :¬) Obviously just on auto pilot when they offered them :¬)
