Race Trace

Don't forget you can keep track of your achievements at a glance by logging into the website. I'm adding more features here every week, so check back often and let me know if you'd like it to do something that it doesn't already!

Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed a parkrun or two!

A quick update this week:
🔢 We now track repeated achievements (like your second Alphabeteer!)
🧪 The Periodic Table Challenge is now recognised
🏃‍♀️ Bushy Pilgrimage is in there too

And I've made a few tweaks to things like "Tons of Runs" so it's clearer what they mean

As ever - thanks for using Race Trace and let me know if you'd like me to add more features!

Blaise Castle parkrun was cancelled today thanks to other people needing the space (the horror), so I put on my tourism shoes and travelled to the other side of Bristol. As it was I enjoyed a very sunny Pomphrey Hill parkrun instead. Thanks to all the volunteers who make this possible - I can't imagine Saturday morning without it! --Steve

Where did you all run today?

Hope you all had a good parkrun today! It was a gorgeous morning at Blaise Castle parkrun and the firmness of the ground has certainly improved the average finishing times!

How did you do? Feeling good about a bit of sunshine? ☀️

I've started building race reports into Race Trace! It's a work-in-progress, but if you click on the little racetrace link under your parkrun challenge results (in Strava), then you'll be taken to the overview page. Let me know what you think!

Note: if you're logged into Race Trace, then the link will take you to the activity page. You just need to click "Event Report" to get this information!

Here's the run I did on Saturday: https://racetrace.world/events/10414376/report

Thanks to Blaise Castle parkrun being a quagmire for the fourth week on the trot 😢, I engaged in another week of parkrun tourism 📍

Eastville was the busiest parkrun I've ever attended with 677 participants, but I know this is tiny by comparison to some. Last week's max was Albert parkrun (Melbourne) with 968 finishers!

Did you have fun at home or abroad today? Let me know how it went! --Steve

This is a work-in-progress, but Race Trace will now show you some activity stats from the website. I'm going to expand this in future to include the functions you'd expect (e.g. finding suitable parkruns to fill gaps in your challenges), but let me know what you think, and what you would like to see!

Well, that's a whole heap of achievements right there (and my fastest time for a while), helped by the fact my local parkrun was too muddy to run. How has everyone else's parkrunday gone?

I hope you all had a very happy, parkrunny, New Year! Just a small update to say congratulations to Claire Allison for completing 300 parkruns (with a tourist streak of 210!), but also for pushing me to implement Regionnaire challenges in Race Trace, so you can see how many you've done in every major region of the UK.

Also added: UK Counties, Groundhog Day, Tons of Runs, Pirates, Stayin' Alive, and a few more besides! Happy New Year!
