It might sound like a regular race where your aim is to catch up with the people in front and not get caught up by the people behind... but not when you don't start at the same time!

⏱ Arrive with a target 5k time in mind (round it to the nearest minute)

πŸ‘£ Runners depart at intervals, with the longest target time leaving first and the shortest last.

🏁In theory, everyone should finish at the same time. In reality, that probably won't happen. Not getting caught up is your incentive to push harder πŸ˜‰

e.g. 2 people turn up - one person wants to run it in 23 minutes and the other wants to do 30 minutes. The first person would start 7 minutes after the second.

How to work out your target time - If, like me, you've not been running so regularly during lockdown, take your PB and add a 3-5 minutes onto the top. You may want a bit of a challenge (knock off some time), or you might want a relaxing run (add a few mins)

It's just a bit of fun. The chances of everyone finishing at the same time are very, very slim.

It's worth swotting up on the Brockwell Parkrun course map.

Also please note there won't be anywhere to leave bags, unless someone doesn't fancy running?!

✌️Keep 2m from other park users and each other when overtaking etc. ✌️

Arrive at 9:50am for a 10am start. Meet behind the Lido and look out for the red tees.
