eing thanked by numerous runners as they battled on by in the cold<br />
conditions!!<br />
There were 213 runners in total and the run was led by Poole Runners and<br />
Poole AC who were neck and neck initially, but Poole Runners went on and<br />
managed to take the lead finishing comfortably as first male and Vicki Ingham<br />
was first lady so a good outcome for a PR takeover parkrun event!!!<br />
BUT.................UNFORTUNATELY the male Poole Runner DID NOT HAVE HIS<br />
BARCODE............................. So therefore listed in the official Upton parkrun<br />
results as ‘Unknown’. What a shame and what a lesson to be learnt!! No<br />
barcode, no result!!!<br />
Once the tail runner was in, the timers were collected, the course was<br />
cleared and many of us descended on the cafe where the work began<br />
collating the results, whilst another table was sorting out the barcodes, and<br />
other tables were filled with park runners socialising and drinking coffee. A<br />
lovely way to end an eventful morning and highlighting to me the importance<br />
of having so many volunteers giving up their valuable time on a Saturday<br />
morning to put on such an enjoyable event!!<br />
A very big thank you again, to Mel Carroll, Upton House parkrun core team<br />
and all the amazing Poole runner volunteers for putting on a fun event.<br />
Here’s to the next one!!!<br />
