So I plucked up the courage to join, I only did the 2k route as I took my young son with me, I was initially put off as when everyone started they all sprinted off, I kept my normal pace and so I was last but it didn't last, lots of the sprinters had stopped by around 3 minutes, I ran past them thinking ha ha the toutoise won the race. It just goes to show it really isn't about speed. I finished in 28th place out of 40 so I was quite pleased, I may even do the 5k next.

Hey, well done you! Great start to park running, and good on you for not being discouraged by the fast starters.
Well done
