Completing all Channel Islands parkruns

Less than a month after completing LonDone, I've also bagged the Channel Islands Regionnaire status. Its arguably easier as it's 2 events rather than 50+, but does involve flights and a bit of co-ordination. I did both a year apart to coincide with the half marathons for each island. Both were interesting courses with a friendly crowd and special in their own way. I don't expect any new Channel Island events in the near future, so it looks like this Regionnaire is safe for a while.
