HappyG(rrr) Nov 2022 4:01pm, 10 Nov 2022 44,580 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) Annabel Simpson twice last weekend - Kirkcaldy parkrun (yes, she was first, just wee tempo - 17:50, I think, she'd been on the razz the night before at a pal's wedding she said), then Sunday I was doing a lap of Loch Leven at about 10 min / mile and 3 lads and Annabel flew by. "Hi again Annabel, well done yesterday" said fanboi here! You don't get that with other sports. You don't see your Mo Salah's playing 5 a side down the local park. (Is that a real footballer name? David Beckham then!) G

K5 Gus Nov 2022 7:28pm, 11 Nov 2022 5,484 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus Wow, 600 on that narrow course (old railway line now a footpath), that's going to be a bit of a bottlekneck at the start unless youre in the first few rows. I did the original, and lookin at the results there were 230 finishers and I remember that being pretty busy at beginning. Last couple of years about 350 and 380 finishers. I wonder what drop-out rate they're assuming ? Good to see a race sell out though, most races seem to have been struggling recently

Someone told me that in the Bridge of Orchy Hotel last Sunday. Just took them at face value tbh.
