Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
We had a record 453 runners at Southsea. Sandi Toksvig, chancellor of University of Portsmouth, was promoting fitness at the uni and a whole host of people from the uni joined in, all wearing purple shirts. It may be a while before that number is beaten.
Edit: a link from local news: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/univer ... -1-6979786
Next week is Southsea's 2nd anniversary.
The week after that, maybe Hove...

I think that as Tractakid has done better than Going Underground as great hasn't even repeated a course within the streak.tractakid wrote:Mine was Aylesbury (16/05)Black Park

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Enjoy Barking Geoff - it's not a bad little course - two laps and pretty flat, it does have a very annoying tight hairpin though which does slow you down costing a few seconds! Would join you for it but am away this weekend.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I won't be running this weekend, as my leg will be in pain, but I am going to volunteer for the first time. I get 100 points for that.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I've not been to Dulwich but Pymmes is pretty close. just one speedbump height bump on each lap... certainly a fast course anyway.***** wrote:I did wonder if you would be there! Right. So now not only do I have to find the flattest course, but the ones without hairpin bends! i never really thought of how they could slow you down before... In London, that might just be Dulwicf (flat, tarmac, no severe bends, 3 laps in an anti-clockwise circle), to which I believe the 21st Nov has been touted as forum-day-out ...Steeevooo wrote:Enjoy Barking Geoff - it's not a bad little course - two laps and pretty flat, it does have a very annoying tight hairpin though which does slow you down costing a few seconds!

Yeah sorry did we say 21st when we did Beckton? If so our apologies we should have double checked here and that's a real shame
Unless they can re-route to Dulwich it's not far away?
