Look what arrived today 😄

[SueAppleRun]

Now I'll have to go to parkrun

[Folkylass Administrator]

Now that looks snazzy Sue. Yes you really will have go to parkrun. Nice colour too. 😂😂🥰🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️x I just have the plastic barcode card. However I fancy one of those😂😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Folkylass]

Thank you, yes I'm going

[Folkylass Administrator in reply to SueAppleRun]

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️❤️x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Well done Sue, you certainly now will be at parkrun with that lovely parkrun wristban barcode, I got one of those to celebrate 25 parkruns, remember to post your report on Damienair's parkrun forum after that first parkrun you run this Saturday. 😊 🏃🏾

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

I will Al thanks

[Oldlady64 60minGraduate]

Brilliant! I’m a big park run fan and I’ve made lots of new running friends through that too.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldlady64]

I'm very unsure but committed now

[nowster Graduate10]

Did you recently sign up or have you been signed up for a while?

Just asking out of curiosity because your number starts with A6 and my barcode number starts with A69, and I signed up over two years ago.

I went for black for my wristband. I've never used it so far. I carry the small plastic barcode card in a pocket, but usually use the Garmin parkrun barcode app on my watch.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to nowster]

I probably signed up a couple of years ago. Ooo black, I never thought of that.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to nowster]

My barcode starts A686, I signed up bit working 2 Saturdays a month meant I never got myself up and out early enough on the other two

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Yes you will 😂 Nice colour!

[BahamaMama1]

Oh my goodness. An upgrade from my printed, crinkly barcode 😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to BahamaMama1]

It was so I made sure I went

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to BahamaMama1]

My first printed crinkly barcode disintegrated about the time I ran 23 parkruns, that's why I got a lovely purple wristband barcode on running my 25th parkrun.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

If I get to 25 I may get one if those 😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

... and a purple 25 T Shirt 👚.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

Goodness, what colour is tee shirt for new park runner?

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

You can wear whatever you like Sue. The brighter, the better. We will be in apricot as it’s a tourist parkrun for us. Is Worthing the closest parkrun to you?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

No it's tourist for me too, lancing is my home parkrun, I have yellow or bright pink top

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

The 25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 milestone T Shirts are not free but will be given to runners who have completed those milestone parkruns, 25 is purple, 50 is red 100 is black, however, the colour of the T Shirt for beginners is apricot which you can buy before your first parkrun.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

Bit late to buy now, but may treat myself to a milestone one if I ever get to a milestone, I mostly run in black

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

PS, you can buy the apricot T Shirt at any time. 😊 🏃🏾

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Mostly I run my local parkruns in my usual black kit. I have worn my red 50 tee shirt when visiting new places. It shows the marshals that I'm probably familiar with the rules and routines at parkrun.

The colours: 25 is purple, 50 is red, 100 is black, 250 is green, 500 is royal blue.

They're usually £18 (inc. P&P), but you only get the magic link to be able to buy them once you've passed that milestone.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to nowster]

Thanks for that info nowster. I might only run one parkrun so will not buy anything else and see how it goes.

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Good luck. Enjoy

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

Thanks 😊

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

ooh yes, you’ll have to go now! Exciting 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jools2020]

I will won't I?

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Yup..! That's it! Mine is plain purple 💜 yours is very sassy indeed!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I'm getting very nervous but excited too

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

You'll be fine...my first , everyone was lovely and although I'm a lone runner at heart, the others I've done have been super, and meeting real friends from here is just lovely x

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes I'm looking forward to that.

[GTFC Graduate10]

😍😍😍

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

You certainly will!

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Nice!! Can’t wait for Saturday’s run report!

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Very nice colour! I printed my barcode, but that's as far as I've got.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Be a tourist and come run on the coast some time

[Birdlady64 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Tempting...

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Birdlady64]

😃

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

That’s lovely and you’ll wear it with pride. Parkrun was the highlight of my week for 4 years and I do miss it. I’ve been thinking about running one again in the autumn/winter months when training isn’t so intense.

Good luck on Saturday Sue. Remember to start towards the back and don’t get carried away at the start. You’ll smash it. 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to RunBrianRun]

Thank you Brian, I'll trail behind but determine Ned to enjoy it

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Snazzy SAR. Lovely colour. 😍 I have a very faded pink one and a blue “Back Together” one from after the Covid break. I love these wristbands and wish more people would use them. Trying to scan sweaty crinkled paper barcodes isn’t my favourite, nor are the shoelace ones when the wearer won’t lift their foot for you and you have to stoop. 🙄

Enjoy Saturday. Being a nutter I would have joined you (I love driving), but I simply don’t have time as I need to be home by 3pm. 😩

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Maybe we'll find one in the middle, so we all drive a bit but not too far, I too love driving too 😃

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’ll drive anywhere for our meet-ups. They’re such fun. 😀

[Petem56 Graduate10]

It's even got go faster stripes 💪😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Petem56]

Now that's really funny Pete 🤣

[TailChaser Graduate10]

Definitely!!! 😀

[Dendev75 Graduate10]

oh fab! Have you done one before?

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Dendev75]

Nope

[Dendev75 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’m excited for you. I’ll look forward to your Parkrun post ☺️

[CH951]

Aright for some 😜😜😜xx

[Week7 Graduate10]

Ooh that's very smart! I signed up for Parkrun a few months ago but have still not made it to the start line ! Maybe your race post will inspire me!? Have fun.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Week7]

Thank you, I think I signed up a couple of years ago.

[Rennur Graduate10]

I got an orange wristband so it is easy to find in my drawer. I thought it might be easy to find if it fell off but it has never happened. I think they could make them a bit bigger though.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Rennur]

Mine fits fine, but I never thought about losing it
