Thank you all so much for coming, 8 ran for Chiltern, 5 for Holy Trinity Church Wallington, 9 for St Patrick’s Tigers, 5 for Grace Church Dulwich, 1 for  Selsdon Baptist Church, 1 for Croydon Jubilee Church, and 4 for the Salvation Army  – 33 runners in total, and one non-running volunteer.

Photo credits to Sue Gray & Kerena Ivens. Well done to Ken Wright (assisted by Winnie) who was barcode scanning to help the local team out. The non-running volunteers are really essential to us, and appreciated. Also a big thank you to Andy Crossley who stood in for me to take the lead in my absence. In all 425 people ran Crystal Palace parkrun that day, and we were spread from position 3 to position 424! It was great so many of you tried out this new venue.
