Woodley for my PB. It has a tight turn and a small hill. However, I have run it many times and knowing the course definitely helped run it faster.

It's the quickest in the area, especially when dry but not icy. I reckon you'd have to go to Cassiobury to get faster.

My all time parkrun PB is at Stratford upon Avon. Flat and mostly tarmac. I currently have 6 events on my list that no longer exist. It was 7 until Cambridge was resurrected (and renamed). |

My parkrun PB was at St Andrews - very flat and fast! All my events still exist 😀

My PB was at a course that's ranked 283rd easiest, it was just one of those days where everything clicked and the only time I've ever gone sub 21 mins. 20:45 at Concord in Sheffield. My next quickest (21:11 twice) was at flat Rother Valley - ranked 54th easiest. Link here, if it's useful to anyone: thepowerof10.info |

My PB was at Hartlepool, on Christmas day 2019 - pancake flat out & back along the seafront. I've done two events that no longer exist: - Tees Barrage (notable for (a) being the time that my wife forgot her barcode and (b) our first ever tourist event) - Inverness (which has essentially been reborn about half a mile away as the delightful Torvean) |

Interesting list 😀 My two regular runs are ranked 552 and 742 on there, no wonder I'm slow these days 😉 |

Interestingly our course was 2nd in 2022 and is now 18th - I think that reflects the fact that we’ve got busier and it’s now more congested

My PB was on my one visit to Bushy. I was the 1st in my Age Group too and Paul Sinton-Hewitt was the 2nd - I did chat to him later and pointed out "never mind Paul - it's a run, not a race!". |
