(not) parkrun results 26/10/2020 – 01/11/2020

There was a lot going on so we thought it better to put it all in a blog entry.

Overall parkrun results


It got very heated Sunday night to produce an epic battle between the reigning champions Tralee and the upstart pretender St Anne's.
In fairness if any parkrun could be called an upstart it would be River Valley. 

However it all ended with Tralee putting in a mighty performance to claim this weeks first spot.

But as always there are winners amongst the winners.


 For the first time in weeks Kerry have taken the inter-county thanks in no small part to the mighty performance of Tralee.

For the Northside vs Southside it was another bloodbath with the Northsiders completely hammering the Southside but there are signs of awakenings and we need to keep an eye on Bushy!

Now if you have read this far you may be about to disappear down a rabbit hole.

It's all well and good getting 156 people to complete a 5k but is it really that hard when you have no less than 14,587 registered. We had a look at two key numbers and they are the average number of finishers each parkrun had each week and also the total number of registrations against each as well.

You might think why but an interesting statistic is the number of (not)'s as a percentage of the average number of finishers. This throws up some real interesting figures and also a clear winner - Clonbur Woods!!!


Great to see River Valley closer to the top but we have done better in the past as we have exceeded 100% a number of times but a huge well done to Clonbur for the massive 128%.

The worry is Tralee have yet to hit peak performance and St Anne's have barely started. We all need to also start working on Malahide as they have not even reached 10%!

If anyone wants to view the figures you can look at the following link for the data.

Goodbye and Good Luck 2020, here's to 2021!

  Okay, we know it is not quite over with yet but we are going to be as optimistic as we can for the future. It goes without saying that this year has been a very difficult one for everyone and that we are not quite out of the woods yet, but we can see some hope on the horizon that things are going to get better. We are going to cross all of our fingers and toes and hope that the vaccine rollout scheduled for the New Year will begin to see a return to 'normal' life. You never, know, we may even see a return to parkrun before December 2021 with any luck! A New Year's Resolution  On Monday 4th January, parkrun Resolution begins. This is an eight-week campaign in which parkrun are asking you to make one resolution that you will try to keep. Whether it is getting in an extra run or walk each week or trying to run a marathon a week, choose one thing that you hope to achieve and stick to. At the halfway mark (25th January), parkrun will bring the community together and applaud ev

And We're Back . . .

  Well, sort of. Okay, the title is a bit off-putting and we apologise for getting people's hopes up. However, we had a couple of our regular features back this week. Our Saturday morning coffee morning was back for the first time this year. This is a great way to catch up with those that we cannot get to see due to Level Five restrictions and is a nice way to spend a Saturday morning.  On Saturday, Andy brought back the fantastic music Zoom. There are many people that are afraid to join this as they do not play an instrument and feel like they can't sing. However, Andy is quick to point out that you do not have to sing or play to appreciate good music. A particular highlight this week was Cecile and Leyla's version of Memories by Maroon 5. We are very impressed, is there anything that these two cannot do! For those that are interested in joining in or just listening, keep an eye on the Whatsapp group for the Zoom details on a Saturday. Thanks to Pete and Andy for organisin

#38 There is no better place than the park

  We are truly blessed with the weather the last few days as it has been both dry and mild. If you wanted to use the weather for an excuse for not getting your 5k in then you are out of luck. We get the impression that a lot of people are simply forgetting to log their runs. Maybe they think it doesn't matter as we can't top the table when up against Tralee and St Annes. However the reality is that we are still challenging on a number of fronts including the "potential performance" and the total number of runs.  Get 'em logged folks and at least put us in with a chance. Do we really want to fall behind Marlay and we can still overtake Erris!  Congrats on the Milestones A few people have passed the 50 mark when it comes to (not) parkruns but one person has hit that 100 runs and that is Stephen Reid. Huge congratulations Stephen! A quick glance and those with over fifty include Una O'RIORDAN Siobhan MCCARTHY Sigita ZONBERGA David Martin KELLY Teresa CARROLL Coli
