Thank you all so much for coming, 15 ran for Chiltern, 8 for Good Shepherd, 2 for New Creation Church London, 8 for Holy Trinity Church Wallington, 17 for Emmanuel, 24 for St Patrick’s Tigers, 1 for Christ Church Purley, 2 for Cheam Baptist Church, 9 for Springfield, 3 for Croydon Vineyard, 7 for the Salvation Army and 26 for Selsdon Baptist – 122 runners in total!

We had a super quick pre-run brief –welcoming everyone and reminding them to check in with Tom Higgs our scorer – thanks Tom, appreciated. We were also made welcome by the Lloyd parkrun team in their briefing as well. Big congratulations to Debra Bourne who received her Running award for best book – richly deserved – “parkrun, so much more than just a run in the park”.

Photo credits also to Kevin Hann the parkrun photographer on the day who we were told was a happy sharer of photos, which is appreciated.

Super busy at Lloyd – partly us obviously – and we helped them again (as last year) smash their attendance record.

In all 317 people ran Lloyd parkrun that day, and we were spread from position 1 to position 305! It was fantastic to see so many of our runners there. There was a great feel to the event, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Scores, after handicap, for those who like such things, as follows;
