When they ran out of finishing tokens they moved on to raffle tickets and marker pen. So many of the results had to be manually added. Although there seems to be some small discrepancies here and then largely the results are all extremely accurate.
Apparently times were adjusted for queuing, and some even say the time keepers walked the queuing line.
People are just glad they got to taken part in such a momentous event!
Bryan Bradwell said, “Bushy event #1000 had 1114 more finishers than this year’s Sheffield Half Marathon and when I’ve run it that race it always feels crowded.”
Roderick Hoffman pointed out that “68 finishers at Bushy #1000 had Athletic Codes lower than “2200.” These codes were allocated around October 2006 to then Bushy runners in alphabetical order (Adam to Tony). So these are Bushy Time Trial runners from the first two years. At the other end of the scale 48 finishers have 8 digit numbers (so from “10000000”). All of these were doing their first parkrun (of 145 in total).”
