‘parkrun Finish Tokens with Tin of Spagetti’
parkrun day again today. What a beautiful day for a run today! Cloudless blue sky - and no wind! (Extra)
These buckets contain the numbered tokens that participants - over 450 today - are given as they finish, to record their position.
Matched with their barcode that identifies them, both are then scanned by volunteers and the tokens dropped (by the participants - a Covid measure) into buckets.
The results are then sent to parkrun HQ for publication in results table on each parkrun’s website, and are usually available within a couple of hours or so.
Slick isn’t it!
And the tins? They are there to provide ballast and stop the buckets from being blown over in the gales we’ve been having!
