Ivor, were you in Yorkshire by any chance? Only at my parkrun the other week, we had two people who don't know the course make a mistake and cut quite a chunk off, by running the second lap the same as the first. 

Thanks 15west - I'll mention it to my sister. 

This children's race, is it any age and do kids have to enter beforehand? My niece would love her own medal but she's only 4. I gave her my Liverpool Marathon medal last year and she loved it. 

I'm a member of a club. I run with them on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but I still go to parkrun most weeks. I also do races regularly, with my club, with parkrun people and on my own. I don't think being a club runner precludes you from enjoying parkrun. Some of the fastest runners in my club (not me at all!) do parkrun regularly. 

As for the 50/100 thing (there's nothing for 20, although juniors get a 10 t-shirt) is more of a personal thing for me. Although I'm wearing a red shirt next week as it's a 50th run for someone. 

parkrun is fab. I've done 38 of them, volunteered regularly and been Run Director a few times. I'm now part of the core team at 'my' parkrun and hoping to set one up in my town. Go, it's great.

I'm planning a weekend away and the first thing I looked at was whether there was a parkrun nearby!
