jmcnamaraI ran a 6mile/~10k yesterday as part of the local marathon weekend runs. 1:02:42, which I was very happy with. It is only slightly over a year since I ran my first 5k #parkrun

Benjamin Han@TheBreadmonkey @roastinghouse Here in US (WA) a parkrun w/ 100+ runners would be considered a blowout. Can't imagine running w/ 800+ runners in a *#Parkrun*!
Supermassive BenholeAt Bushey Park (the original) in 2024 for their 1000th #ParkRun, they had 6,204 runners. It. Looked. Bananas.
fakI looked up my times. I ran it in May 2022 in 27:22. My all time #parkrun PB is from Gorleston Cliffs (just down the road) at 19:58 (back in 2019). For a proper comparison I ran Thomas Mills a week later in 21:22, so Great Yarmouth North Beach added 6 minutes to my time.

This post by @HawkinsWeeks showed up on my timeline yesterday (I follow the #parkrun hashtag).
I'd love to do it, but realistically I'm not sure when. It would be great if that list would ever get extended to cover the rest of the continent (and also very difficult, I think).

That’s the 2nd time I’ve done the toughest parkrun in the UK & it was just as hard as last time!… Great Yarmouth parkrun #running #parkrun #strava https://strava.app.link/F99nQ6d4O2b
Roasting House Coffee@TheBreadmonkey I like the idea of being a #parkrun tourist but when it comes down to logistics, I don't because I like the idea of being able to walk, run, or cycle to parkrun without a car journey.
But then going to Great Yarmouth for me would be a weekend away so tourist pounds to a UK seaside is no bad thing - I bet most people justify a large bag of chips by the sea afterwards 😎
Just chatting with @roastinghouse about different #ParkRun courses and found that my new regular (Hoblingwell) is 783 out of 835 hardest UK parkruns (which is very pleasing to me because I find it tough). Although my other usual (Norman Park) is 5th with a tied 3rd place score.... Although it doesn't account for there regularly being 800+ runners to negotiate with, which affects your time.
However I'm also fascinated by the hardest one, which for some reason my brain is telling me I want to have a go at. Why? Absolutely no idea. Just to see if I can, I suppose....

Stephen DarlingtonOver fifty finishers at Figges Marsh junior #parkrun this morning — not a record, but not far off. Lovely weather, and people hung around at the end. Great community feeling 👍
