Following requests from various members and building on prior years’ “five*five” parkrun challenge your run captain is delighted to announce the Windrush autumn 2018 parkrun challenge.

Format is slightly revised from prior years to make it even fairer for everyone and easier to participate. It will be run as a handicap where each runner will be competing fair and square vs themself, and it will also encourage people to try new parkruns.

Rules: 

Only official parkruns and parkrun results count. Times for road or trail 5K races are ineligible.

Each runner’s Handicap time will the average of their fastest 3 parkruns in 2018 between 1/1 and 31/8.

[if you haven’t run 3 yet this year then it will be the average of those that you have done prior to 31/8 so you still have time to set a mark].

if a runner beats their handicap their handicap adjusts to the average of their new 3 fastest parkruns in 2018.

runners must complete one parkrun in 3 of the months of September, October, November & December

Bonus points for choosing a new parkrun You’ve not done before. For Those who’ve not yet done a bit of parkrun tourism here’s your chance.

Scoring:

running a new parkrun. 10 points

running faster than handicap. 50 points

bonus for completing all four. 25 points

beating all time parkrun pb. 100 points.

Attendance bonus if >5 Windrushers all do the same new parkrun together. 100 points each

bonus for four different letters of the parkrun alphabet. 50 points.

Please comment on here if you would like in, let me know your parkrun profile and let’s use the running whatsapp to encourage each other out.

On a personal note, i am also trying to tick off the parkrun alphabet hence the final point!

results to be announced at the Windrush end of year celebration party in January.

happy running people.

My daughter is a Windrush Junior member, (she's 13) can she play along too? Her number is A596418

Sorry, one more thing. We do all need to put Windrush as your parkrun home club - there is a way to collect all the Windrush results each week from the parkrun website which I'm just setting up access to. thanks!

Great, noted- she has only done the 5k ones so far so should have times to use for the handicap. 

Her name is Lia Rocholl-Ney

Thank you!
