Although it wont show on the parkrun results page I was really pleased to run a CB at the new home of "Homewood" taking over a minute off my previous time there :D
For those that don't know they had to change venues after 12 events from Homewood, which was a fairly flat course mainly on tarmac to an all "trail" course through the woods and up the hills at Ottershaw memorial fields but kept the "Homewood" name...
Basically anyone that has run both courses will be very hard pressed to beat the time run in the first 12 events....

I think he means that the CB won't show as its the same event!

Yes it the same event for some bizzare reason they had to leave Homewood after 12 events, moved 2 miles down the road to Ottershaw and didn't change the name... :shock: :shock:

So essentially, they've changed venues but kept the name? In that case until they do you'll have to be shown as not having run a new "event", and you won't get a CB. You wouldn't have been shown as having one at your first run at a new venue anyway.

It's never gonna change names and have run "both" courses twice, I only mentioned it in passing really as is quite unique... Had it changed from "harder" to "easier" course it's no big deal but a few people are unhappy that they will never better their course times... :(

trainers shorts, shirt I have thought u have had them in luggage anyway can't understand the exhaustion because for example I'm regulary up at 5am to travel. but can understand some of the Saturday only trains but surely there must be at least one Saturday that doesn't need to be a train at 9 to 11am, otherwise chilcraft will become the top dog :lol:
