Jimmy O Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yes, I've noticed that Gregory is attempting to become the first person to do 100 different events in his first 100 parkruns - quite an acheivement! I'm up to 88 different ones now and stepping up the tourism to get to 100 early next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lederhose Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 HQ will only let you register one run on Christmas Day but doubles on NYD are allowed. I've done two NYD parkrun doubles but I had to travel a little further afield: 1/1/12 Leeds and Huddersfield 1/1/13 Leeds and Roundhay 1/1/14 Injured unfortunately Concord, Clumber, Graves trio it is then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Sheffield & Rotherham parkrun attendances for 13th December 30 - Concord 136 - Graves 79 - Hillsborough 30'ish - Castle Hallam cancelled due to ICE Total = 275 Rother Valley cancelled due to ICE 38 - Clifton Park Total = 38 Any one know what happened at Castle? reports of about 30 Graves picked up a few who dashed from Hallam when it was cancelled. Sheffield Striders have invented a handicapped knock-out challenge which seems to be a great way for all abilities to compete. The rounds and draws are at parkruns. I don't have a problem with it but is it a parkrun thing? Edited December 18, 2014 by Flanker7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Any one know what happened at Castle? I almost made it to Castle, but car was all iced up. I'm guessing it may have been called off due to ice. I've done it before when they've had patches of ice. Quite disconcerting on the downhill stretches when you're not quite sure exactly which bits of the path are iced up, and which bits are safe! Anyone do Castle this week? I'd be interested also to know if it was on, and if so, what conditions where like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosterrobert Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Castle was on, albeit it a little slippy! Had about 30 people at a guess. Course was generally fine, you could tell traction was low but it was pretty decent bar a couple of corners which pace came down to a slow jog around. Times were still pretty good though, winner was probably still 18.00 - 18.30 so can't have been too impacted by ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sheffield & Rotherham parkrun attendances for 20/12/14. 41 - Concord 169 - Graves 86 - Hillsborough 18 - Castle 354 - Hallam Total = 668 83 - Rother Valley 38 - Clifton Park Total = 121 Castle did 37 last week. The Santa effect boosted Graves to 169 Who's many are going to Concord mid week? There seems to be two options for 1/1/15:- North = Barnsley-Nostell Priory, 29 mins South = Clumber - Graves, 42 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lederhose Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Damn, just realised 42 minutes travelling time will not leave me enough time to get to Graves for the start of the run! Barnsley starting 9.00am and Nostel Priory starting 10.30am looks the best option. Edited December 22, 2014 by Lederhose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnie41 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Flanker7 - Sheffield Striders have invented a handicapped knock-out challenge which seems to be a great way for all abilities to compete. The rounds and draws are at parkruns. I don't have a problem with it but is it a parkrun thing? I don't think it is a 'parkrun' thing. Its a run, not a race, and handicapping/ draws take it out of the park run set up for me. We aren't competing - its park run. Why can't people just leave things alone Happy Christmas to all runners - park run or otherwise - might see you Xmas day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Sheffield & Rotherham parkrun attendances on 25/12/14. 141 - Concord, New Attendance Record! Increased by 50%+ Wow, The great, good and shear bonkers of parkrun gathered at Concord to indulge their habit. Better than going 'cold turkey' on the hot turkey day ;0) The addictive qualities of parkrun are more powerful than I first thought. I wish there was a 'home run' column on the results which could show where everyone came from. Were all the Sheff & Roth parkruns represented? - Graves managed at least 6 including Lily the Whippet. Plus a number of notable nomads who don't seem to have a regular parkrun home. There was some serious kit out there in a high quality field. Many thanks to the volunteers at Concord who made the day possible and I hope this is going to be an annual pilgrimage in the future. A Happy New Year - See you all at Graves.

Waldo Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Wondering if any of the Park Runs will be cancelled due to snow? Will no doubt see in the morning, maybe it will melt overnight!? (probably not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
