No Contra was sadly a total flop, bailed out by Parkrun. Official parkrun merch now abandons ethical materials and sourcing.

I managed to get an unofficial shout out for my 400th run. The RD that day had whipped through the brief super quickly and then we were all stood on the start line waiting for the time to tick over to 7am. So I called out my unofficial milestone whilst we were waiting. The week later the RD made a point of celebrating my 401 milestone on the start line again.

Went to Stirling parkrun on Saturday. Very enjoyable. Friendly bunch, met a couple of fetchies and a really nice route.

Want to do more parkrun in 2025.

George's first parkrun too.

How does this happen? Different run numbers for the same event? (I appreciate this is a "why does the 5k app do this" question which isn't the purpose of this thread, but you're a knowledgeable lot!!)

It’s because of an issue with accessing volunteer related data

Because something in the parkrun database they access has changed relating to event numbers, with the ability to credit volunteers for an event that cancels (so you can credit your Volunteer Co-ordinator or your Event Check person if you don't go ahead at the last minute). The 5k app people have acknowledged theres an issue, and that they've not yet found a workaround but suspect they're still working on it. In this case it's possibly even more confused by multiple events happening within a week

Think it can also be related to when events have been cancelled but volunteer credits still given
