The tutu’s were out in force on Saturday, thanks to Joanna Tomlinson, Kerry May, Louise Luna Galvin, Lori Bateman, Susan Martin for the photos, fabulous 🙂
Also out in force, Vegan Runners!
799 were in the scanned and volunteer combo, with 737 getting scanned.
We were at 358 different parkruns.
186 of you solo repped, but no solo repping at Hampstead Heath where this weeks photo comes from, as Bristol VR’s went on tour again and met up with some London VR’s, 23 were scanned here 🙂
Three other big get togethers stood out, good numbers at :-
15 – CLARE CASTLE
13 – FOLKESTONE
10 – UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM
There were 6 runners scanned at Southsea, Eastleigh, Burgess, Cassiobury, Alvaston, Hove Prom, Blaise Castle, Eastbourne, Whitstable, Hastings.
Another 10 parkruns had 5 runners scanned, so some nice groups forming all around the U.K.
We had an incredible 21 Vegan Runners in 1st place this week, a narrow win for the Women, 11-10 🙂

Some extra stats from our top statto Mr Gary Sherin.
There have been 30 U.K parkrun opportunities in 2023.
I’m one of 13 VR’s who have run 30 parkruns, but there are additional opportunities outside the U.K and we have 5 runners scanned 31 times, 4 more scanned 33 times, and our top rep has managed 34 of the 37 possible, some dedication!
Vegan Runners have been scanned at 924 locations worldwide in 2023.
Obviously there are occasional cancellations which can mean a parkrun can’t top this particular list but only
SOUTHSEA
EASTVILLE
LEE ON THE SOLENT
have had VR’S scanned 30 times this year.
A further 12 parkruns have had VR’s scanned 29 times, so possibly still 100% representation if say one has been cancelled.
This list is due for a major revision this Saturday, but currently our top 3 parkruns with numbers of different VR’s is
FOREST REC 112
EASTVILLE 80
ASHTON COURT 62

It’s been a while since I wrote a report so apologies if I’ve missed a section or tagged the wrong person!
We have a massive parkrun Saturday coming up, but let’s keep that separate for now as the weekly poll will be out tomorrow 🙂
Well done and thank you to everyone who repped this week, next week we’re back with Cathy Genovese for the CGSO’s, better grammar and punctuation and the repdigit which I didn’t manage.
