This week's parkrun presented a new challenge as the underpass 250 metres into the course was flooded. As a consequence we had to move the start to avoid the problem area and also deliberately made the course long to avoid anybody achieving unrepeatable PBs due to the initial section being 'easier' than the normal route.
