And yes it's all part of the challenges Volunteer alphabets etc. I am not a fan. I have token sorted a few times as a visitor and only if it is on the roster empty.

After all, you wouldn't generally add an extra timekeeper if you already had two, you'd offer them a different role or different date, I don't really see why parkwalker should be different.

Anyone know anything? I was looking as there was a very fast female time at University of Stirling today, 17:03. Not a course which features often in the top tens, I think. (She was first finisher, by 1:38!) Curiously, still no update since your post and back to 17th May.
