6204 finishers at the 1000th Bushy Parkrun, the volunteers deserve a medal.

​

Wow. That's crazy. How did they estimate how many finishing tokens to bring? Where did they all park? And I thought Stretford was congested!

I did Bushy earlier this year,Was a fantastic event,Highly recommend,There was 1400 there the day I did it but the way the volunteers shepherd you into different funnels at the finish was very impressive. For last weeks event some of the finishers were having their positions written on their hand as they ran out of of tokens.

Managed a 10k last night in 54 Mins around Hilly Halifax.

I'm turning 50 in November and would like to attempt a 10k race under 50 Mins, anyone know of any quick routes over the next couple of months? I am aware of the Leeds Abbey dash which would have been perfect but I have plans that weekend unfortunately.

Depends how far you want to travel I suppose, there is a decent 10k in Knutsford on Sunday Sept 29th, pretty flat.

Thanks, i'm off for a weekend on the beer in Bilbao on Friday 20th Sept, so that might be a bit too soon, but i'll have a look.

Sounds like you need to get your priorities sorted imho, whilst being able to drink a weekends worth of beer in one day is admirable, it's not going to run a sub 50 10k now is it

Yeah, I did it 2 years ago, I think you mentioned on here that you were late to the start but you got to overtake loads of people that way (including me)!
