That's awesome volunteering, @FreshStart and all the other parkrun volunteers. 👏👏👏👏

2024 has been my first year of regular parkrunning. I've participated in 32 and volunteered 26 times (lots of those being set up or close down so I've been able to volunteer and run). I'm looking forward to doing more in 2025.

Final tally for the year:
54 parkruns
97 volunteer roles, across 50 days
SB: 33.54 (47.3%)

Next year's goals:
- get to 250 volunteers (currently 215).
- extend my P-Index to 5 (NYD will take it to 4, so then one more visit to Victoria Dock)
- extend my V-Index to 9 (pencilled in for 11th Jan)

Most immediate goal is to continue my streak of 4 consecutive course bests at our NYD venue (Valentines) - if xmas and today are anything to go by, I have a decent chance of managing that.

And I only just noticed: today was also a triple Nelson - my 333rd time running at Mile End #arbitrary

38 runs and 5 volunteers for me this year. Neither outstanding. Quite a lot of incidental tourism.

Next year's goals:
- Get to 250 parkruns (currently 238) on the same day as I get to 100 runs at my home event (currently 91).
- 5 new-to-me parkruns to bring my total to 50 different events.
- Volunteer occasionally.

It's taken me 17 years, but I've made it to 250. I timed it to coincide with my 100th volunteer, too.
Imagine my smug face!

Parkruns 12 - vols 0

Pretty normal since lockdown

Year ended on 450 which has taken 19 years.

Goal for next year is to attend my local a little more and try to volunteers a couple of times.

I am currently on 290 events, 60 locations, 10 countries.

I should get to add 2 more countries next year, that I’m visiting for marathons.

This year I’ve done 32 parkruns across 14 locations, and 8 volunteers, so not a stellar year really. I was lucky enough to add Japan to my country list though.
