Further to the announcement below regarding the introduction of the Victoria Park parkrun as the penultimate Grand Prix race, a few people have indicated that 14th June is too short notice or too close to Rouken Glen 10k. Therefore, I have decided to add an interesting variation as follows:
You can do the Victoria Park parkrun on either the 14th June or 21st June but only the first one you do will count towards the Grand Prix. After the 21st June parkrun, the results of the 14th and 21st June parkruns will be combined, the GP positions worked out and jokers applied. Before you do either parkrun, declare your jokers by leaving a comment on this blog or, if Russell or I are there, declaring your joker before the start of the race.
So for example, if you do the 14th June and 21st June parkrun, only the 14th June time will count towards the Grand Prix, even if the 21st June is a faster time. If you only do the 21st June parkrun, then that is the time that will count. This adds an element of luck as you could be available to do both but decide to delay your participation until 21st June only to find out that the weather is horrendous or that the field does not have anyone of your standard so you have to run solo.
Good Luck!
Alan

I will be at both to take a note of any jokers but please see me at least 10 mins before the start.
