Loving your videos each week Douglas, at least keeping me connected in some way to running while I sit here injured! 😭 Alness looks a really unique route, like how it covers trail, grass, coast, the lot!
Alness will be my first Parkrun. How do you get your time from the barcode, it didn't look like it was scanned at the start and not soon as you finished ?
Awesome, Alness is great, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it 😃 The barcode system is fairly straightforward. Before you run your first parkrun, make sure you register yourself on the parkrun website. You can then print out your barcode to take to the event with you (or save it on your phone). On Saturday morning, make sure to arrive in time for the welcome brief. They’ll explain the course, and provide other safety information. The you do the run! Just after you cross the finish line, you’ll be given a finish token, which has the position you finished in printed on it. Take your finish token, and your own barcode, to one of the barcode scanners at the event. They will scan both tokens, thus matching you up with your finish position. This then gets matched up with the times recorded by the timekeepers. Shortly thereafter, you will get a text message and/or email with your result 😃 Hopefully that all makes sense! The team on the day will be able to keep you right 👍

Thanks Douglas, hoping to do this one at the end of the month.
You’re welcome Mark! I’d love to go back and do Alness again sometime. It’d be nice to experience it without the freezing gale force winds 😂
Great vlog Douglas!
