Nearly half of last year's finishers fail to return

I must stress that these calculations are entirely unofficial. I may have made errors or some of those that finished last year maybe among those with a problem still to be added. But it would appear that 54 of the 122 that finished last year have not returned this year. There will always be a certain number of "one offs" and there will always be a few drawing the curtain on their Parish Walk careers, but I would if the weather last year was a factor.

A few of the names listed below are now taking part in other branches of the sport of athletics but there are a few that I shall really miss like Rosemarie Crellin.
