I really enjoyed the one about pot luck finish positions where you just take your token from a bucket. and Stonehaven did one where you can subscribe to various levels bronze, silver, gold etc, which gets you free use of the travellator to get up the hill, t-shirts etc

Nessie Apr 2019 5:05pm, 2 Apr 2019 751 posts	Quote Pin Nessie There were some comments in the FB parkrun discussion group. Speculation that the partnership with ~~strava~~ had come to an end, but no-one seemed to know if this was true or not.
larkim Apr 2019 5:09pm, 2 Apr 2019 7,210 posts	Quote Pin larkim You'd have to presume it was something like that. I quite liked being able to stalk other parkrunners easily through their ~~strava~~ profiles etc, but it did feel a bit like parkrun had put all their eggs in one run-logging basket when competitors like FE etc didn't get a look in.
Nessie Apr 2019 5:35pm, 2 Apr 2019 752 posts	Quote Pin Nessie I'm not sure I ever clicked on the ~~strava~~ icon on the parkrun website, but I gained a few followers on ~~strava~~ who more than likely found me via parkrun. Perhaps there was a GDPR issue?

Was looking for a parkrun I can cross the finish line before him (my only chance as he will be taking it easy for Sunday) and think it’s going to be Heaton as closest to where we are staying. Wow it looks like a busy one!!
