What has gone wrong

There have only been 4 entries in five days.

Welcome to the following:

Sue Ackroyd

David Anderson

Frank Feeney

Dane Gardiner

but if you are intending to walk and have not yet entered, please do so - or tell your friends to do so.

Don't read this if you haven't entered yet

Don't expect other people to have entered if you have not taken the plunge yet. The entries should be faster than this. Here are the only four since the last post:

Christine Carter

Sandra Kaighin

Sharon O'Neill

Sarina Watterson


That takes the entry to 282. When we get to 300 I will make some effort to do some more stats but not before.

Only 7 entries in 2 1/2 days

Here they are:

George Blair

Teresa Marie Blair

Lawrence Dyer

Sue Furner

Rebecca Hoskisson

Jackie Turley

Jonathan Wild

Quiet couple of days for entries

but here are the latest

3 updates the site

I'm pleased to confirm that you can now order the Race Walking Record special edition.

There is a link on the Media page or you can follow it from here:

Order a copy of the 2010 Race Walking Record special edition here

I've corrected the age at which featured walker Dave Fereday ran his 57.25 - he was 22 and not 19.

Finally, on the Organising Page, I have updated the wording about the change of sponsors and their common membership of the Lloyds Banking Group.

I can go for my run now!

Nothing like the last 8 years

For 40 odd years the average winning time of the Parish Walk didn't change that much.

There have now been 48 Parish Walks (remember although they started in 1960 the event was not held in 1965 or 1966).

First 10: 1960 to 1971: 16:54:53

Second 10: 1972 to 1981: 16:55:20

Third 10: 1982 to 1991: 17:02:32

Fourth 10: 1992 to 2001: 16:47:07

Although the first 10 included Graham Young's 15:43 and Leece Kneale's 16:05, they were weighed down by the first race of 19:50 and four others over 17 hours.

The second 10 included Derek Harrison's 15.20 but you must remember that between 1975 and 1977 the event was in decline with an average winning time of only 18:30.

The third 10 was the slowest ever although more consistent with only 1 over 18 hours and one marginally inside 16 hours.

The fourth saw even more consistency with the winner under 17 hours on 7 occasions and nothing over 18 hours.

So after 40 races the average was 16:54:58.

The average for the last 8 years has been 15:35:49.

Here are all the winning times for the last 8 years:
