It was a very busy morning for Sally arranging all the volunteers with over 26 volunteering.  Thanks so much all it makes the run so much more fun to take part in.  Plus it means us oganisors can push on towards our 50 shirts, Maddie now on 45 parkruns and aiming to do the 50^th at our 2^nd Birthday and me a long way behind on 37 runs.

With all the volunteers I did think we may have more volunteers than parkrunners at one point with an army of H-Viz jackets swarming around the tables.  I needn’t have worried,  everyone rolled up and we had 184 runners finish the run this week, still a massive turnout.

We shook up the briefing this week with 1^st timers being welcomed by Sally separately, and then the run briefing.  We announced that Zach Buther was the “parkrunner of the month” well done Zach, on your 26^th parkrun today, PB of 26:52 and all this after joining us at event 70, you’ve hardly missed any, well deserved out of such a deserving bunch of runners.

So off to the start and away, it was a really fast start as the field was nice and dry this week even though we had had some rain.  The finish team did their best to count us through the paddock, with a cheer and a few name drops.

There were some excellent performances this week with notable PB’s from the 10+ parkrunner. The wall of fame this week is

Paul Evans 22:11, Wendy Holmes 19:35, Nathaniel Poolton 18:44, George Scott 22:34, Steve Potter 21:20, Adam Grant 22:35, Susan Ash 31:03, Darren Fulcher 21:3, Mark hayes 21:42, George Neal 21:54, Jemima Hobby 27:57, Andrea Harding 34:03, John Drummond 25:32, Suzanne Breay 26:03

Congratulations all.

There were also more great performances from our Juniors with a number making their debuts, Evie Ford, Tom Godber, Jonathan Michaela,  and Elliot Power, Jemima Hobby, and George Scott all getting a new PB, wonderful!

Another future parkrunner made their debut this week, as, after the we caught up with Ross and Nichola Robinson who had brought 1 week old Scarlet along for her first parkrun experience seemed to like it.  Congratulations both on making it down to the run between sleeps, you must be cream crackered.

Finally with only a few weeks of this year left the league tables are hotly contested! Every place counts at the moment, here’s the tables as they stand…

Pos	Name (Male)	Runs	Volunteered	Run Points	Vol Points (max 300)	Total	Lead
1	Chris GARRATT	39	3	3667	300	3967	337
2	Matthew FITZGERALD	36	2	3430	200	3630	269
3	Dan CALE	40	3	3109	300	3361	64
4	Richard BEETLESTONE	39	4	2997	300	3297	524
5	Richard DREWETT	33	3	2473	300	2773	202
Pos	Name (Female)	Runs	Volunteered	Run Points	Vol Points (max 300)	Total	Lead
1	Nichola Clair ROBINSON	39	4	3491	3004	3791	136
2	Michelle THOMPSON	42	3	3355	300	3655	254
3	Ann GRAY	39	4	3101	300	3401	367
4	Alison CARR	37	0	3034	0	3034	115
5	Tessa CARR	36	0	2919	0	2919	196

So in the Male league it’s looking good for Chris Garratt running so well at the moment although Matt Fitzgerald has 100 volunteer points if he chooses to volunteer for a week that could help. Third place in the men’s is very close with Dan Cale and Richard Beetlestone only 64 points apart and both very close in standard that will be a close finish.

In the Female table Nichola only has a 136 point league and having just given birth unlikely to be back running for a while, equally Michelle is away at the moment so she may hang on.  Ann looks fairly comfortable in third place too with a nice367 points although Alison and Tessa could score some volunteer points, so could pull some points back that way.

In the Club League must say my the BPJ’s are storming it..although with a late rally the Malvern Joggers could catch us in the unique runnners table.

	Runners	Runs Completed
Black Pear Joggers	161	1730
Malvern Joggers	131	892
Worcester AC	53	294

That’s it for another weekend from me, have a great week of running, keep happy and see you for parkrun 100!!

Remember parkrun 100 black for next week.

Bank Holiday weekend and really looking forward to a parkrun I posted on facebook that the course was dry and only a light drizzle, looking across the field it was more than a little broody with a chance of a BIG shower.

The course laid out, our WONDERFUL volunteers arrived a grabbed the hi-viz and Sally and I gave everyone their  roles, and said “Hi” to as many new runners as we could.  If you ever see anyone wandering looking a bit lost do say “Hi” many of have listened to the briefing over 50 times (yes I know it does get a bit saymie). We’ll be looking at that next week taking the First timers to one side so you don’t have to listen to the same old briefing, and you can get off with just the News and usual risk warning.

So the best news possible to start the parkrun this week with Nichola and Ross Robinson who had a baby – Scarlet on Friday, congratulations! You got a big round of applause from everyone.  I listed  the Robinsons in order of parkrun seniority has they have a quality parkrun pedigree.  Nichola 73 parkruns 72 at Worcester PB 21:44, and Ross 39 parkruns all at Worcester, that’s called a “passionista parkrunner” with a PB of  29:33 last week.  Hope to see you all soon when you’ve settled down into family life.

We also mentioned about keeping your children close by, Under 11’s need to be with an adult, no exceptions.  This is for lots of good reasons, not least we’re nearly a KM from the start at some points and if your child fell over they’d have to walk all that way back through the woods. We will continue to let you know until this is 100% adhered too, thanks.

So off to the start and it was another big crowd with 193 runners lining up who would do the 2 laps.  A few dropped out, and there were a couple of trips and slips so we’ll be updating the first aid kit for next week, nothing major thankfully.  So off across the paddock past Anne, Eddie and into the woods.

I honestly don’t think the course has ever been in better shape, the grass had been cut and the Bluebells spreading across the Woodland floor, I’ll stop before I go all Wordsworth on you.  Trevor was having a bit of a new experience as I met him on the second lap with his 7 month old puppy “pulling” him along, and to a new PB congratulations Trevor, can I borrow her next week I’ve not had a PB for years.

With our increased numbers its sometimes hard to pass on the course so perhaps we need to invent a passing phrase that we can politely shout to let people know were behind and ready to come through, ideas on a postcard?

I was amazed how fast people were finishing, I tried to catch Richard Beetlestone up Badger Hill following some encouragement from the Harding Family, Daisy, Richard and Andrea, but I couldn’t close him down, so great finishes from all.

As we went through the line the numbers were given out, as if they hadn’t been dropped at the start of the run, causing a flurry of activity, sorting and scrambling, to resort all 300 numbers, before the first runner came home, oops.

We had another bumper week of PB’s 51 in all and 16 of those from our second timers who almost all got a new PB, hope to see you again soon.

I’ve poured over the stats this week and hope to be doing more analysis to see how we’re doing and perhaps it might help the rest of us to a PB.

After the run it was great to spend some time having a brew and chat, especially with another new addition Barney Hobby (Alan and Amanda’s new baby), Jacob Goldby (James and Angie’s baby) and of course their Millie.

Have a great week and hope to see you for our 99’er next Saturday.

Phew!!

I must admit to being astonished how the turnout for parkrun is growing at Worcester with another 209 runners making the finish line this Saturday morning. Equally we had an army of 24 volunteers to help out, thanks all.  Whether there are 23 runners (like #1 parkrun) or 209 we will be here every week, and as always our goal is to make it friendly for new and more experienced parkrunners alike.

It was lovely to have a chat with some new "first time" parkrunners before the run (32 first timers this week) and then see you through the finish, some smiling and some slightly shocked at how long a 5km can feel, but nevertheless pleased to finish.  Equally I noticed a lot of people back for their 2nd run after a debut. This week there were 23 second timers (up from 15 last week), and guess what 22 of them got a PB incredible running, and evidence, if needed, that a little running knowledge goes a long way.

We got the briefing underway and presented Rhys Jones with his long awaited 10 shirt, thanks for waiting Rhys and all your support Jones family.  Then we congratulated the triumphant marathon runners, well done all, Dave Shacklock, Nick Hooper and Steve Jones well done guys.

It was over to Derek (79v) to the start this week’s parkrun and we watched you spread out across the field and saw how the new route around the play area really seems to help out. It was "hi's to all as you went past especially to our 16 "50+" parkrunners the “parkrun Royalty in Red”. Bethan STIMSON (56), Annie ROBSON (59), Richard DREWETT (61), Trevor CLARK (62), Alison CARR (62), John DREW (63), Tessa CARR (63), Simon WRIGHT (65), Ann GRAY (65), Yvonne RALPHS (66), Dan CALE (71), Andrew BROWN (72), Michelle THOMPSON.

There was 1 "100" parkrunners Anne Newbury up from Braunstone parkrun which I found out after googling is south Leicestershire, and following on with the 2nd timer PB theme she bagged a PB at Worcester too.

We popped up to Eddies (74v) corner to see you go around for the second lap and it was all we could do to control the army of volunteers that had massed. Hope you enjoyed the massive cheers on the corner. Then back over the Anne’s (78v) turn into the field for some incredibly competitive finishes The weather was great for a run, nice and cool and it showed in the times.

Katherine Smith was first female to finish giving her a hat trick of first finishes at Worcester parkrun, congratulations Katherine brilliant running, and a new PB. Helen Ciancio was 2^nd in only her 3^rd parkrun, and Catherine Jackson just behind.

The Stock boys were having a great run, fighting for the front position with Tom getting and well deserved PB, followed by Adam Jackson (2^nd timer), and Daniel and Michel Stock just behind.

There were 66 PB’s this week, well done if you got a new fastest run.  Our 10+ parkrun PB’ers were Autumn STEVENS-MINNS 25:28, Darren FULCHER 21:35, Karen COOPER 26:43, Steve POTTER  21:46, Ross ROBINSON 29:33, Rebecca JONES 34:56, Verity PARKER 27:25, Andrea HARDING 34:50, Mark HAYES          22:04, Katherine SMITH 21:06, Andrew John FODEN 22:22, Anne Catherine NEWBERY 24:39, Richard HARDING   24:27, Mike FELLOWS 24:12, George Philip SCOTT 24:10, Nick ADAMS 20:42, Zach BUTCHER 26:52, Adam WINWOOD 23:26, John DRUMMOND      26:07, Natalie Anne RUSHTON 25:25, Daniel STOCK 17:48, and Lucy GALLAGHER            26:08, well done all brilliant running.

The parkrun weather fairies (who have been on strike for a few months now) were working their magic on Saturday for Worcester’s 96^th parkrun- and what with our old friend the sun in the sky and a bit of London marathon fever in the air there was a bit of a buzz at the start of this week’s run- particularly as from the number of runners lining up at the start line it looked as though this might be one of Worcester’s highest attendance’s so far- and with a record 216 runners (the first time we had clocked over 200 no less!) the run didn’t fail to disappoint!

The race briefing was kicked off by Maddy who awarded the sweathshop runner of the month prize to a well-deserved Gerry Rudolph- Gerry has run 28 parkruns and has clocked an impressive 12 PBs and wins a pair of sweatshop trainers for his efforts- well done Gerry.  We then had 30 seconds silence for those who had lost their lives or been injured in the Boston marathon bombings, a tragedy which had shook many in our parkrun running community, before the runners set off on their merry way around the paddock and into the woods, which for a nice change seemed to be quite dry underfoot and absent of the usual mud and puddles.

Having recently ran every week with a baby bump of ever increasing size (much to the surprise of many of my fellow runners!)  I was volunteering this week- carrying out the much-coveted task of handing out the placing tokens to runners at the finish line- this is a great role as you get to see the joy and effort on everyone’s faces as they storm down the final straight, many looking expectantly at their watches to see if they had bagged a PB, many just looking pleased to have made it round, but everyone sharing in that same sense of camaraderie with their fellow runners at the finish line. I would encourage everyone to give the different volunteer roles a try.

It seemed like the race had only just got underway when Lewis Sternkoff stormed past Eddie’s corner at the end of his first lap with race director Richard Ralphs hot on his heels, with Richard just managing to sneak into first place by the finish line with Lewis just two seconds behind him- such a close battle for first finisher! First home for the ladies was Katherine Smith with an amazing new PB of 21:22, with Sophie Tothill finishing second lady not too far behind. With what seemed to be near-perfect running conditions there were a lot of PB’s up for grabs this week (51 in total) with a whopping 45 first timers- well done to everyone who took part.

Nichola

Thanks Nichola for putting together this weeks run report and for volunteering for the numbers role at the finish.

Thanks to all our other marvelous volunteers this week...

Hi,

What a weekend of running it was in Worcester this weekend with the parkrun Saturday morning and the Worcester Marathon on Sunday. So congratulations to everyone who completed the parkrun and the marathon.

I was AWOL this week in Barcelona celebrating with Vonnie and my fellow parkrunners Joff and Helen, who was 40. What no parkrun in Spain!!  If you know me you'll know that I'm never more than 6 minutes away from parkrun. So it was no surprise that at 10:00 a.m. we were on the phone wishing you all luck and then at 11:00 checking the times to see how everyone did, who came along and got around the course and most importantly what was the weather like.

Its BIG thanks to all the volunteers and especially James Goldby who got up early to lay the course out for me, Worcester Wonderful volunteers this week were....Anne RALPHS  •  Ben JONES  •  Daisy HARDING  •  David CORBETT  •  David GRAY  •  Derek HOBBY  •  Ed FREEMANTLE  •  Elaine MARSTON  •  James GOLDBY  •  John POWELL  •  Julie Mary HERBERT  •  Madeleine PAUL  •  Margaret WILKES  •  Megan JUDGE  •  Michelle THOMPSON  •  Neil MCMILLAN  •  Paul EVANS  •  Richard BEETLESTONE

My biggest surprise this week was the first week I can remember with 0 unknowns, so everyone remembered there barcode, brilliant work, it saves us so much time getting the results posted if we have all the barcodes, no funnel duckers or token tea leaves.

Well done to all the  parkrunners who've run 10+ runs. David Andrew Rose with a 20:08, Rachel Purves 26:18, Karen Cooper 26:52, Nigel Dexter 21:16, Andrea Harding 35:13, Michael Mullin 31:46, Kate Tanner 24:38, Mike Anslow 18:43, Susan Ash 31:15, Laura Bessant 30:26!!!  Well done too to Carol Cowley who again put in an amazing age graded score of 86%!

So unless I fill this with stories of our holiday,  I'm going to hand it over to the stats this week and let you see how were shaping up...

Can't wait until next week. Have a great week yourself and see you Saturday.
