The final TOP IO rankings for 2024 have been published today. I apologize for the lateness but I was taken sick with pneumonia and bedridden for 3 weeks. This delay should not reflect on the TOP IO Chairmen, Ed Heckard, David Longmuir, Doug Beyerlein or Kent Sizer. They did a commendable job in 2024 and we owe them our thanks. Also, our thanks to our graphic artist, Bruce Fisher, whose artistry makes the TOP IO list possible

From ParkRun Race Director – Information on how to update a profile on the parkrun website, as we often get emails from Silver Striders who want to have your group name included next to their name in the results section.

If your members want to update their profile, we’re unable to do that on our end. They will need to log on to the parkrun registration website,

www.parkrun.com/signin

Once they sign in there is a menu of items including ‘Groups.’ Clicking on that opens a new page where you can add the running group you are part of.
