Thank you all so much for coming, 30 ran for Chiltern, 11 for Good Shepherd, 6 for Holy Trinity Church Wallington, 15  for Emmanuel, 9 for St Patrick’s Tigers, 4 for Christ Church Purley, 7 for Croydon Vineyard, 5 for the Salvation Army, 2 for New Creation Church London, 14 for  Selsdon Baptist Church, and 4 for Springfield Springers,  107 runners in total!

No new age graded records this year, but it was biggest turn out ever for Riddlesdown, so new course attendance record.

Photo credits to Yan Hua then also thanks to Kate Edwards and Alla Lunn who kept score. The non-running volunteers are really essential to us, and appreciated. In all 295 people ran Riddlesdown parkrun that day, and we were spread from position 2 to position 295 ! It was great to see even more of our runners there than last year.

Riddlesdown were very welcoming – especially given the need for them to be tight on car parking – and having to work out if they had enough finish tokens. So a big thank you to Nicki and her team.
