On the detailed view, the number of parkruns is under each person’s name. It works on my tablet.

Keswick a little thinner than usual today too.

Even fewer at Cheltenham - 166, we haven't been that low since our 4th event way back in March 2013 😁 Even so, we had one chap doing his first-ever parkrun - I think I'd have waited for a drier day to start if it had been me!

Luckily our tailwalker was a 50 minuter so we didn't have to stay out in the teeming rain for over an hour as we might have done with other regular tailwalkers. As it was we were all soaked and frozen by the end.

101 at Dinton which is very low. 2 first timers though - that’s a good effort! The volunteers were brilliant as it was a grim day to be stood around. Lots of thanks for them which is great.

223 at Coldhams so only a bit lower than usual (usually 250-300) The weather didn't hit until about the last 10 minutes and we managed the quickest close down and clear up we've ever done, with the whole team heading to the car park by 9:50 :-)

Last week on run #189 we had 189 runners, this week run #190 we had... 189 runners! Weather was bad last week, worse today.

One runner was completely new doing their first parkrun - got a big whoop and cheer in the run brief and coming in at the end 🙂 what a day to start!

Only one of my local parkruns took place this morning due to the weather conditions. Fortunately I had already decided not to do one as I have a half marathon this evening.

I smiled after a JW10 zipped passed me on the finish line, only to turn round and say “sorry”. If she hadn’t needed to stop and re-tie her laces earlier, she’d have been streets ahead of me
