Saturday 1 July 2023 - Brueton parkrun #604

Having driven down to Solihull on Friday evening, we assembled in a squad of 470 runners at the Brueton parkrun. Sue got in the mix at the front, whilst I assumed my usual position at the back.

Here we are at the start.

And before that, we just milled around. This is the fourth time we've done this 5km run on good surfaces in the large and pleasant park, but the course seems to change every time we visit.

I got around in a leisurely 29 minutes - position 269 out of 470 - so I did manage to pass 200 people. Sue managed to avoid the finish, so she didn't get a time! There's a message here: even if you collect a finishing token and get properly scanned, you still need to actually go through the finishing funnel.

Full results are here.
