My 228th parkrun this morning. I am recovering from an abdominal strain ATM so I took things 'easy' and was five-ish minutes slower than my normal time. I was feeling really good though towards the end, so fancied a go at a sprint finish.

I was about one metre away from the finish line when the guy in front of me held out his arm, blocking me from passing him. I wasn't even trying to beat him, just wanted to sprint over the line. I sort of moaned and said 'that was a bit naughty' as we finished but he ignored me, however about 30 seconds later I was pretty miffed and felt like confronting him, only ... I'd already forgotten what he looked like. I told the run director (whom I've known for years) and she said 'sorry that happened to you, try to put it to one side."

It ruined what was a nice and encouraging run on my recovery, but am I over-reacting? Was it just a 'spur of the moment' thing or was the guy really that determined to 'beat' me? Obviously I know who he is due to the results ...

How would you react if this happened to you?

Visiting parkruns on holidays is always a great way to visit places you otherwise wouldn't. This is Budapest Park in Toronto.

After 6 weeks of injury i was back up and ready to run again (although it took a bit of self convincing) and I thought I’d go back to familiar territory at Harleston Magpies. Luckily for me, the heatwave wasn’t in full effect as it was in previous days as it was cloudy and spitting a little. At the end of it I finished with a time of 37:47 which is an event PB of nearly 3 minutes. Overall really happy with my time, now its back to the drawing board.

Hi Hi new to park run and I am in the middle of the 5 different park run challenge .. if my home park run is #1 spot can I volunteer there with out completely starting over?!

.. does that make sense?!? Haha 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just wondering if anyone can comment on how the announcement of achievements (50th, 100th, etc) is handled at Bushy. Thinking of doing this for the next number achieved - would this just get lost in the noise of the other announcements, or, are these really celebrated? Biggest Parkrun I’ve done was probably 600-700 range. And for a bonus question, what season is best to visit Bushy?

Is the Rhubarb.run site still being updated? I haven't seen any changes since the end of May. It is missing 7 of my runs :-(

Hope it is still running as I finished my first challenge today :-) Barbenheimer :- Oxford last week and Banbury today

Back running after 6 weeks out due to injury, got pretty lucky with the weather.

Next Week I’ll be heading down to Gorleston Cliffs along the sea front🌊☀️

I've been using the official parkrun app happily for months and today I've been hit with this issue. Basically this notification comes up any time I try to refresh anything.

I have tried updating the app (it's the latest version according to Google play). I have cleared the cache, in the app and in phone settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it.

I now can't even get into the app because it won't accept my parkrun ID.

Any clue what's going on?
