Parris Memorial Series - 2025
Parris Handicap 5K – Bigger, Better, Open to
More Runners!
We've transformed the Parris Handicap into an open 5K
handicap series, inviting runners from Beckenham RC, Petts Wood Runners,
Bromley Vets, Orpington Road Runners, and Zero to Heroes to join the action!
With more competition and excitement than ever, this series offers a
fantastic opportunity to test yourself over four races at BBHAC HQ in Norman
Park.
This year the handicapper is Iain Swatton to
whom all complaints should be addressed!
Named after Roy Parris who sadly died after an heroic
fight against cancer. Roy was a regular Wednesday Nighter right up until
the last - he enjoyed his running as well as the social side of the club.
This event is an apt tribute to Roy.

The old Parris Handicap Course Measurements
The course has been measured using a measuring wheel. It assumes
that runners keep to the left hand pavement at all times. Apart from road
junctions, there should be no need to cross roads. This is especially true in
Hawes Lane where it has been common practice to traverse the road twice to
take advantage of the shortest line. In the interests of the safety of all
runners, this practice must stop. This was implemented from the start of the
2011 series. It is an un-marshalled event and entrants are responsible for their
own safety and the safety of other road/pavement users. Neither Blackheath and
Bromley Harriers AC nor the race organisers can be held responsible for
incidents that may occur.
