I stood in for the regular photographer at Junior pr yesterday.

It’s always a delight to do this role. The most of youngsters always appear to be having more fun than the participants at regular parkrun.

I can thoroughly recommend Largs Prom. But preferably go after March next year (part of the prom is being repaired so it's 5 times up and down right now), and pick a less windy morning.

Take a decent pair of binoculars and you could probably spot a runner in hi-viz on the Mount Stuart course.

I haven't done timekeeping or scanning since they've been done in the app. I really should have a go, but would also find it stressful Andy.

forest plodder I have a fear of timekeeping so haven't used it for that, but the app is so much easier for scanning than the old scanners were. You barely have to wave your phone over the tokens and they've scanned and you can see straight away that it's worked.
Other half likes the app for timekeeping too

This Saturday is my last chance to run a fast parkrun before my birthday. Trying to organise my weekend to accommodate it.

My legs...... we shall see.

I’ve an uncanny knack of doing seaside ones on a windy day 😮

Scanning and timekeeping are a lot easier with the app. As is the results processing afterwards, would never go back now
