Beware the bingos are a slippery slope, you start of trying to get seconds, then you move onto minutes and positions, and before you know it you are tracking your gender and age cat positions ... markrun.org

Awesome work Mark! I wouldn't be that obsessive myself, of course.

Mark, I hope that's automated, because if you're manually updating that spread sheet each week...?! :-O

I thought I was a statto. That is another level. You wait til Larkim reads that. He'll be in seventh heaven! :-) G

My fastest time for 2019 is 9 seconds slower than my fastest time for 2014. My average position in 2014 was 89, and for 2019 it is 218. So you don't need to change parkruns to get a spread of finishing positions.

It is semi-automated, I create a new text file each week and from those my website generates all the tables.

I trust celebratory arrangements are already being made for 3rd March 2035?

Goofee I'm thinking I might volunteer once or twice before then to push it back three months to June, the weekend of my 50th Birthday seems as good a date as any.

My highest overall finishes (11th twice) are correspondingly only my 4th and 21st fastest parkrun times - Boston & Gainsborough resp.
