Yes, the medal table will reflect his removal. Several events now have only two runners, so medals at these events will have disappeared for now.

I believe my run at Stratford Park, Stroud, was listed under Stratford upon Avon mistakenly.

I think Century City is my favourite parkrun course ever. Described by Bruce Fordyce as 'The Monte Carlo' of parkrun. The course starts in a well manicured park, before running along canals, through underpasses, through two buildings (past the entrance to a KFC!) along boardwalks and train tracks. You dodge bollards, go up and down a couple of steps and slalom through the doorways. It's an almost completely flat course and remains fast.

It's been on my bucket list since I first saw the course map and it did not disappoint!
