Richard Olafson, age 90, has passed away after lengthy health problems. Richard was a formidable runner who won many awards. He began racing in the early 1980’s and raced often. As races became more plentiful, he began to enter more. He eventually found himself and his wife, Barbara, doing 50 races a year for more than 20 years. He is believed to have ran more and won more races than anyone on record.

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 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.
