Darren WOOD (for the uninitiated: the sole member of the 500 club) didn’t run at his usual Frimley Lodge this week. He was away on business, and so attended the nearest parkrun to where he was.

So far so unremarkable.

Except that he was in Atlanta, Georgia, and his nearest parkrun was in Durham, North Carolina, a round trip or 742 miles, or 12 hours!

(Thanks to Darren himself for those numbers).

There were 294 parkruns, 85 cancellations, and the total UK senior parkrun poulation was 61676. Such a shame there were so many cancellations, mostly weather related. Tarmac courses were particularly vulnerable.

On a personal note, I'd like to say I was one of the 32 at Pymmes, and found it to be a lovely parkrun, well worth a visit. The people there were very friendly, and the course was nice and flat.
