Are park run 🏃🏽‍♀️ is Wanstead flats 🎉🎉

i had to go to work!!

Isn't this just tourism/inaugural chasers made easier by moving around London being relatively easy? Might just be Christmas but numbers for the 28th are down to under 600 when Bushy has been reasonably stable at ~1300+. Battersea non first timers seem to be around 300-400 so maybe 400-500 once it settles down? Seems unlikely to beat Bushy again apart from maybe a milestone.

beginning of video and that view oh dang is so cool

Impressive. And I talk as a regular at Southampton. Looking forward to stretching my legs with you in the not too distant future.

It's actually pretty cool and interesting from the perspective of traffic engineering imo. Traffic yields to traffic coming from the right, meaning it works the opposite as a normal roundabout; instead of giving way to traffic already on the roundabout, anyone on the circle should give way to those entering the circle. This means that essentially it's not actually a roundabout; it's more like a massive intersection, with a lot of lanes to give space for a lot of cars waiting to get through the intersection. Roads don't need many lanes for capacity, it's only the intersections that do. So in that sense the Arc de Triomphe setup makes perfect sense. even though it's pretty car centric this is a rare example of something I would say should be a traffic engineering "monument', something historical to maintain even if it's not optimal.

Nice to see a Parkrun going ahead in central London. My understanding was that there were no London Parkruns as the Royal parks were unwilling to let an event go on for free and therefore Parkrun, as a free/voluntary organisation wasn't able to have events in London. Nice to see at least one local council taking a non-commercial approach to their residents' well-being.

Yikes. That is far too busy for me!

Amazing footage 🎉

I've survived it !

great video and great editing

Thank you for taking and sharing this video of our friendly and welcoming parkrun. We hope you will come along again soon 👏👏👏👍

Superb footage of the people and course of the kesgrave parkrun. Thank you :~)

Looks like a great turnout 👌

Thanks for visiting Morden parkrun! Hope to see you again soon😊

this is literally india

Thanks for visiting. Great video

Thanks for coming and visiting us! Lovely video thanks [Jeremy]

This is my local park run and I had the privilege of running in the 1000th event. So lovely to see all the volunteers in this video. They are there come rain or shine - so thank you to each and every one of them for cheering us on! Thank you Parkrun - simply amazing.

I was there all the way from woking! Thanks for having me.

Great Notley Braintree

BRING BACK THE STATS. 😊

Thinking about doing this next weekend? Is it hilly? Looks a bit hilly haha. But thanks for the video!

I was the bloke who was in the video who said he was from Tamar Trails. It’s true! Fan bloody tactic event incredible event incredible institution. I came 3556- the only complaint was I think my time was 1 second out…..😂😂😂😂

Both a nightmare and an epic experience

@ActionGoVideos brilliant video reflecting so much the atmosphere of the day, and finding myself in the video (I couldn't believe it). Thank you this memory of the day will always be with me

Beautifully captured!

A HUGE big up to all the volunteers!! At Bushey's 1000th and every other PR every week. If you don't currently volunteer, please give it a go sometime, it's really fun and gives you a whole different view of the event. (105 runs, 55 volunteer credits)

It was just amazing the day was fabulous and I’m so thankful it’s my home parkrun. Amazing video still waiting for results I think I saw you but you were further ahead ❤

Amazing that our little parkrun, Byxbee in California, got a mention at 4:17 - thank you so much (wish I'd been there myself)!

Did they actually have 6000 tags at the finish funnel? 😂

Any PB's?

Lord help anyone going to the park for some peace and quiet

Amazing effort all round. Well done !!!

I have run at Bushy mainly at Christmas time over the last few years, this turnout completely dwarfs that significantly. I’m fortunate to have 2 Parkruns within a reasonable distance of where I live. It’s remarkable how this has been such a success over the years. I attended with my brother and we were surprised by the numbers. The volunteers all gave their best and certainly went the extra mile, there were a few drops of rain and then it stopped. The rolling start was probably as good as you could get with the numbers of folk running. The hardest bit was to have just enough space to allow you to either pass by someone or to let others by. Everyone was well behaved and really seemed to get the spirit as it were. The children of all ages were very well behaved and none made a fuss about waiting. For me the challenge was to keep up with the runners ahead with the gold helium balloons as a focus point. The funnel was as good as you could have made it. The finish time is not important but the actual being there and a part of a magic moment is something that will be remembered by everyone there. I cannot envisage another event having this number of runners. The biggest of thank yous has to go to the fantastic folk that allowed it to happen, without them it would not have been possible. A great day, a great turnout and a great advert for Parkrun! Thank you one and all!

Excellent video that really captured the amazing atmosphere. My back made an appearance at 12 seconds lol

Spectacular. Would have loved to have been there.

Amazing! I should have gone!!

An amazing event and such a huge thanks goes out to all the volunteers

Wow - 6 lanes! Bet you enjoyed that Dianne and crew 😂

Awesome video 😎🧡🌳🇬🇧👏🏻!
