Make sure you get both your own barcode and your finish token scanned before you leave the scanning position.Please take the tokens even if you don't want a result - just hand them back to the scanners.Only collect your personal token dogs, anyone on a bike, and random passers-by are not allowed a time and therefore not allowed a token.Stay in your finish order until you have got your token.Don't cross the line twice - peal off to the side if you have already finished and you've gone back to support someone else.There are little things you can do to make life easier for the volunteers and help make sure the results are as accurate as possible: Please remember that parkrun is run by volunteers who give up their time each Saturday to provide this event. When we are happy that the results are as good as they can be, we click the button to send them off and the whizzy parkrun HQ supercomputers send out your text messages which, hopefully, has the correct time on it. Any manual results are strictly for people who did bring a printed barcode but for whatever reason the scanners were unable to read it. If we know who any are - from any details the RD was given - we'll try to amend them before sending them off for processing at parkrun HQ. When the results have been uploaded we scan through them to check that they tie-up with what we know and make sense! Where barcodes haven't scanned they show up as unknown runners in the list. The RD on the day may have some details from individual runners where tokens didn't scan or where there were mix-ups at the finish. We plug in the scanner and the stopwatches to the trusty parkrun laptop and upload the data to the parkrun website where it matches the times to the runners. Once everyone has finished the stopwatches and scanner are handed over to the RD for day to start processing the results. It is really important that BOTH barcodes are scanned - don't give your finish token back until it has been scanned as the scanners get very upset if they only have half the data they need. Both of these are scanned and it is this process that ties you to your finish position. Here you will be asked to produce your personal barcode and your finish token. It's really important.Īfter you have collected your finish token you head off to the barcode scanner. So please, even if you know you have forgotten your personal barcode, take a token and just hand it back to the scanners further down the line. This means that later on they will be assigned the time that goes with position 30, not with their correct time in position 31. The next person finishes in position 31 with a time of 24:20 but because the last person didn't take their token they get token 30. Let's say someone finishes in position 30 with a time of 24:15. If someone refuses to take a token (it does happens) then it can cause a problem. This only works if you stay in your finish order until you have collected your token, and if everyone that crosses the line takes a token. This number *should* correspond to the position on the stopwatch when you crossed the line. Next - just beyond the timekeepers - you make your way to the finish token volunteer who hands you a token with a position number on it. This is why we ask people not to cross the line twice, or we end up with more finish times/positions than we should have. The stopwatches start with the RD saying go at the beginning of the race and every time someone crosses the finish line the timekeeping volunteers click a button to record a time and a finish position. You'll notice at the start line and at the finish line that there will be two people with stopwatches. "Prospects of a hefty record fine on Tencent on money laundering regulatory breaches sent ripples of fears that Beijing's opaque crackdown on the tech space may not quite all be in the rear-view mirror just yet," Mizuho Bank's Vishnu Varathan wrote in a Tuesday note.We often get asked how parkrun works - how do we get your results to you so swiftly and how do we know what your time was? Why do runners get shouted at to stay in order, take a token, don't cross the line twice? And why do we need our printer barcode every time?
