I remember that was just before we saw the Packers at Tottenham. You were struggling to walk!

I've just noticed the most events page on parkrun.com has changed to only show people who've completed over 50 parkruns rather than 20...

I've just noticed the most events page on parkrun.com has changed to only show people who've completed over 50 parkruns rather than 20...

yes i noticed that i think there was just too many people the website kept crashing so that might be the reason they capped to 50!

I've amended the wording on the spreadsheet to reflect the higher bar for entry to the parkrun.com 'Most Events Table' as mentioned above, thanks for drawing my attention to that!
