Never have I had much of a plan other than to just keep pushing forward and keep moving. My main reason for <a href=\"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/parkrun-tourism-reviews-by-a-jeffer\/\">parkrun<\/a> is, and always has been, to make sure that our children realise that exercise is important. I am really pleased to say that when our son at university isn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/2023\/11\/27\/first-caving-kit-list-the-ultimate-starter-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">caving<\/a> (which is very physical) he does also go to parkrun!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"979\" height=\"889\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/parkrun-2024.jpg?resize=979%2C889&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"parkrun 2024\" class=\"wp-image-33664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/parkrun-2024.jpg?w=979 979w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/parkrun-2024.jpg?resize=300%2C272 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/parkrun-2024.jpg?resize=768%2C697 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parkrun Attendance 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This year we tried much harder with parkrun. This not involved a bit more parkrun tourism but actually trying really hard not to miss any. Made all the more difficult by my stress fracture early in the year &#8211; but a stint volunteering and then walking in a fracture boot meant we kept up the 100% attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parkrun Attendance Challenges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different parkrun attendance challenges you can unlock as it were. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bronze Level Obsessive<\/strong> &#8211; participate in 30 events in one calendar year. This I achieved in 2017.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silver Level Obsessive<\/strong> &#8211; participate in 40 events in one calendar year. Again I had already achieved this in 2019.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gold Level Obsessive<\/strong> &#8211; participate in 50 events in one calendar year. Finally achieved this here in 2024, whereby I managed 52 parkruns in a year, plus one volunteer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Platinum Level Obsessive<\/strong> &#8211; participate in 55 events in one calendar year. This used to be possible in the UK if you didn\u2019t miss a week and did both Christmas Day and two on New Year\u2019s Day. There are no longer two on New Year\u2019s Day so you will have to travel abroad to complete an extra \u201cSpecial Event\u201d Day. Unfortunately this means you have to be a moving participant in each one &#8211; as volunteering on its own doesn\u2019t count. Therefore, there was no point us going abroad for it was I could only get 54!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parkrun Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024 I have managed to complete the following <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/blog\/2024\/06\/07\/guide-to-parkrun-tourism-stats-and-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">parkrun challenges<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with the <strong>Festive Double <\/strong>&#8211; this is to run Christmas Day followed by New Year\u2019s Day. We managed to get the family to do Christmas Day last year; but they\u2019ve done neither New Year\u2019s Day, nor Christmas Day, in 2024. They will not be doing New Year\u2019s Day 2025 either.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/471410914_10163468966199739_5068645952966552934_n-768x1024.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"festive parkrun 2024\" class=\"wp-image-33660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/471410914_10163468966199739_5068645952966552934_n.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/471410914_10163468966199739_5068645952966552934_n.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/471410914_10163468966199739_5068645952966552934_n.jpg?w=1000 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This year I have been to 38 new to me parkrun locations, bringing my parkrun locations up to 56. This meant that I became an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UKparkrunTouristsAdmin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">official parkrun Tourist<\/a> (20 different locations) and joined the Quarter and Half Cowell Clubs. Cowell named after the first person to do 100 different parkrun locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also ticking off the parkrun challenge (a location that starts with the first letter of the word parkrun); Stayin\u2019 Alive (3 Bees and 3 Gees); Queen Elizabeth II (participate in 70 events following 8<sup>th<\/sup> September 2022) and Bushy Pilgrimage (which was for their 999<sup>th<\/sup> event).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volunteering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024 I volunteered 15 times. This also brought me into the v25 club and completed the Volunteer Tourist challenge. This makes my volunteering total to 33 &#8211; a ratio of 13%.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/volunteering-at-stroud-half.jpg?resize=1000%2C666\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/volunteering-at-stroud-half.jpg?w=1000 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/volunteering-at-stroud-half.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/volunteering-at-stroud-half.jpg?resize=768%2C511 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In total 11 of these have been report writer, with 9 marshal credits, 7 tail walker, 3 finish tokens, 2 parkwalker and 1 first timers welcome.

But I don\u2019t help for the credit I haven\u2019t bothered the core team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also I volunteer weekly in a capacity that isn\u2019t parkrun currently, volunteer at races &#8211; and am about to take on yet another weekly volunteer role &#8211; which again won\u2019t be recorded anyway. It saddens me that people feel that they can look up people\u2019s stats and judge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Challenges Close to Finishing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Other challenges that I have almost completed are the Alphabeteer Challenge.
