A cracking day with beautiful weather and an amazing turn out – over 100 runners, and 3 additional volunteers, along with several spectators, and single lap runners from the Churches as well. Easily our biggest event since Roundshaw 2019 pre-pandemic.
If you look separately here you will be able to see all our individual participants.
However for the teams we have…
| Church Club | Participants | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Chiltern Church Runners | 46 | 53 pts |
| Springfield Springers | 9 | 13 pts |
| Good Shepherd | 13 | 13 pts |
| St Patrick’s Tigers | 8 | 11 pts |
| Holy Trinity Wallington | 9 | 10 pts |
| The Salvation Army | 6 | 8 pts |
| Selsdon Baptist Church | 7 | 7 pts |
| Christ Church Purley | 1 | 4 pts |
| Jubilee Church Croydon | 3 | 3 pts |
| Sutton Christan Centre | 1 | 1 pt |
| Christian Runners UK | 1 | 1 pt |
A special mention here to the Fountain of Life Church Ashill who did run today, but chose to do so under another club’s banner – welcome!
So that’s 11 or 12 Churches, an excellent turn out.
Of the teams who have run all 3 events (Virtual / Crystal Palace / Roundshaw) the scores so far are;
| Church Club | Score |
|---|---|
| Chiltern Church Runners | 17 pts |
| St Patrick’s Tigers | 13 pts |
| The Salvation Army | 11 pts |
| Holy Trinity Wallington | 10 pts |
| Selsdon Baptist Church | 9 pts |
| Croydon Jubilee Church | 5 pts |
So all to play for at Lloyd parkrun in the Autumn – 12th October.
I do note a couple of teams did claim more runners, but without them being signed to your club, or signing a GDPR disclaimer to be named, we regret we cannot include them.
