Yes, the medal table will reflect his removal. Several events now have only two runners, so medals at these events will have disappeared for now.

I believe my run at Stratford Park, Stroud, was listed under Stratford upon Avon mistakenly.

Sorry for the error, I have now corrected it.

Many thanks!

I think Century City is my favourite parkrun course ever. Described by Bruce Fordyce as 'The Monte Carlo' of parkrun. The course starts in a well manicured park, before running along canals, through underpasses, through two buildings (past the entrance to a KFC!) along boardwalks and train tracks. You dodge bollards, go up and down a couple of steps and slalom through the doorways. It's an almost completely flat course and remains fast.

It's been on my bucket list since I first saw the course map and it did not disappoint!

Ely recently got their own parkrun, well I say Ely, a couple of miles out of town at a place called Ben's Yard but still! I went to their inaugural parkrun a few weeks ago, over 400 participants on the day which was impressive. The course itself I am not a massive fan of and isn't really suited for the numbers they're still getting. The first kilometre I remember stopping and starting as it gets super narrow in places. As the course has little to no protection from the elements it was like running in a wind tunnel and I imagine that in the winter it will almost resemble a Tough Mudder instead of a parkrun. Maybe when things have quietened down a bit I may return but no guarantee, Littleport's parkrun has become my favourite by far.

Missing next week's run as I am off to London early doors, but shall be back stomping around Littleport on the 24th.

Completing mount stuart parkrun i believe i am the only parkrunner in the world to have the islands of europe badge all 19 islands in europe!

I've got several weeks behind on the stats, so I'm spending an afternoon getting things back up to date.
Hopefully should be all done by the end of today.

Everything on the stats is now up to date...!

I've been looking closely at some of the stats, in particular "Stopwatch Bingo". We have quite a few members waiting to join the club who have been waiting some time to complete. Here's a list of those still waiting on 50 or more numbers.

The Raven - 297 runs / 59 Stopwatch Bingo
jamesthegill - 231 / 58
Dudey - 199 / 57
Drain Brain - 180 / 55
A2 - 141 / 53
tpfkar - 129 / 51
Al - 121 / 56
Steeevooo - 111 / 52

Mathematically, it takes 281 runs on average to get a complete set of 60. That assumes the times are completely random. It only takes 105 runs to get 50/60, so not surprising there are several people stuck in the 50s.

as kevin will know sadly a quite famous parkrunner mark layzell sadly went to the great track in the sky after bury field parkrun.

Yes a very sudden unexpected passing - a lovely person with a very good blog AKA The Silent Runner - RIP Mark
