I've just seen! Looks like a nice course as well and, I'd imagine, a lot easier to get to from the UK as well (Eurostar to Rotterdam and NS to Den Haag)!

I've often wondered what would happen if you do a parkrun in Auckland then fly to San Francisco and cross back over the date line?The Raven wrote: ↑11 Oct 2021, 22:57 Trying to work out the maximum number of parkruns you could do in 2022 if you've got a lot of money, a passport and don't mind a lot of travel. I think it's 65.
54 normal Saturdays, plus trips to:
Friday 7th January in Russia
Wednesday 27th April in South Africa
Wednesday 4th May in Japan
Monday 6th June in Sweden
Friday 1st July in Canada
Tuesday 9th August in Singapore
Friday 16th September in Malaysia
Monday 3rd October in Germany
Thursday 24th November in USA for Thanksgiving
Sunday 25th December in the UK
Monday 26th December in Poland
Can you see if you can do anymore

UA916 leaves AKL at 15:30 on Saturday, arriving at 06:40 the same day. Assuming the flight arrives on time and you can clear customs quick enough, it's approx 30 minutes to get to Crissy Field. My guess is that your results would only show one run and not two. In theory you could do this every week so it's theoretically possible to run over 100 parkruns in a year!

I mean you don't have to fly from New Zealand to California. Could just print two barcodes out and get two people run two different parkruns
Slightly less fun though!

Very much enjoyed the parkrun at Woking, despite the weather being a bit gloomy and slightly damp.
I was joined by two fellow runners from Worthing Harriers, Charles & Sarah, and from Tubehchallengers Kevin and Phil.
I'm amazed that my son Phil actually got out of bed for this, but in the process he increased his total parkruns by 100%.
We had a good breakfast afterwards at Spoons, followed by a few games.
Anyhow.... here is this weeks update for you all.

Less fun, but cheaper!
I wonder if anyone has ever tried? I'd honestly be tempted to give it a try, if I was a Kiwi going on a holiday or business trip to the USA!

Frimley Lodge for me last weekend - such a nice run, and the first one I've run all the way for quite a while. A great cafe too

Fastest run since May 2019 for me today (without buggy).

Fastest run for about three years this week at Swanley. Great course (not as complex as it sounds from the description), friendly team, and a miniature railway which the youngest member of the group thoroughly enjoyed .

Did you go to the Canal Cafe? It had closed for a few weeks because of a problem with the rent, it still hadn't re-opened when we were there a few weeks ago.

I was at Clapham Common this week, which most of you have already run. The age range seemed a lot younger than at most other parkruns. It was a real cavalry charge at the start and I really struggled to keep up with the early pace (3:49 for the first km), I finished in 44th so was very surprised to be first in my age group.
Elsewhere this week congrats to Iain & The Raven for setting their fastest times since return, and ***** for setting a new PB of 23:52

My return to parkrun this week, and only my second ever course - Eastville - as away with work. Did not like going up the same nasty hill three times, but otherwise a pleasant course, especially considering how urban it is. Also got my first medal.

Welcome back after a 42 month break! Hopefully it will become a regular feature again?
Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Posted: 25 Oct 2021, 22:11
Unlikely to be regular as still like sleeping on Saturday mornings, but should be a shorter gap between events!

Certainly not an option when you are touring, if I did Worthing every week then I could possibly get away with getting up at 8:30 and still make it.
This week I was up at 6:00 for Clapham Common.
What is the earliest anyone has got up to travel to parkrun?
