I think at the time, I decided no. I made an arbitrary decision that a race is something that you pay to enter, and you get a medal or something at the end.

In all honesty I don't even count them in my own race history. I was just feeling mischievous this morning, a result of wanting to run more than I can at the moment and spending the night with the fabulous Mr George Benson.
I popped into my ParkRun history today - you need your barcode in order to get a time these days, so I downloaded another batch. My stats are interesting - last run in 2013, best time of 22.14. I hit 50 PRs then not a step more and coughed up 6 volunteer stints (nowhere near the 3 per year they ask for).
UK National PR PBs are currently:
