@AndyCliffMTB Correct Andy, I am the gent from Woodbank Parkrun. The HM went well. I found the temperature just right at the beginning of the race (16°c/17°c) whoever near the end of the race the sun was shining on me and it was getting a bit uncomfortable. I'm glad it was a morning race as the temperature reached 23°c in the afternoon. I would definitely do it again. I loved every minute of it. It's a shame that they don't have Parkrun in Spain, that would be a great experience. I'm now getting ready for the Romeo and Juliet HM in Vorona Italy on 16th February which looks fun.

Well done for putting yourself down on that volunteer list.👌 We didnt have that much water on our course but we still got wet feet. I remember in 2023 we ran the Tatton Park 10k on the same day as the half marathon and at one point you leave the park and then re-enter via a different gate. The road was flooded all the way across and lots of people were tip toeing around the slippy and muddy verges, meanwhile i went straight through the middle without slowing down. It came up well above my ankles, but I gained a good 30 - 40 places in the race. It was totally worth it. The water dried, but those places I gained are mine forever 😂
