388 parkruns at 141 locations. Should reach 400 in January and 150 locations shortly afterwards, health permitting.

I'm also on 388, at rather fewer locations. You're a long way ahead on volunteering - my score there is only 60odd.

I did a lot of volunteering in the early years, including Run Director 22 times. Now I mainly volunteer at junior parkrun. I do need to volunteer again soon, though.

Haigh Woodland parkrun in Wigan is a beast. 2.5K down followed by 2.5K up.

It was nice to go to a parkrun where 3 of the 4 conversations I overheard involved Rugby League and the Run Director was wearing a Wigan top.

I've run and volunteered recently at The Plens newly set up @ Desborough.  Trail mainly with a wet 'bowl' - see Facebook. 

Also beat 2hrs for the half marathon this month with 1:59 and 59 seconds!

Nice.

(It's funny how these arbitrary distance in arbitrary amounts of time become targets for so many of us - any big marathon has loads more people finishing around the 3:59 mark than any other time.)
