Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Small of the back tends to be a dry spot for a phone in a flipbelt.

A screenshot of the barcode parkrun gives you is what people usually present.

The link on this website (even though it's unconnected toparkrun) would allow you to generate a barcode on your phone which you could screenshot and use.

hastingsrunners.co.uk

Or pretend to be Tom Williams...

The official one which you access from your profile still says that barcodes on phones aren't accepted. Guess they have that scheduled to change by Saturday!
