Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Out of interest, has there been a change in ownership or management at Milton Park, or just a change in circumstances?

I can remember back when we were down there they couldn't do enough to help out; fixing bridges and all sorts.

As always, it’s complicated and the media articles are a touch disingenuous

Thanks. Interesting read. Rather one-sided, but I have some sympathy with their position.

Disclaimer - I am no longer associated with Cambridge parkrun and have not been party to the discussions

Juniors were suspended until the final decision was made on the 5k, juniors had their first event back this morning. Juniors are less of an issue for the park as there are fewer people at the event and the park is slightly quieter on a Sunday morning at 9am than on a Saturday.

I’ve deleted the rest of what I wrote as it would have been unhelpful

It's a great shame - I have been to Milton Country Park in the past but never as a parkrunner and it was always one I had hoped to do. I'll have to try to get to one of the other Cambridge ones some time though.

Fulbourn Hospital parkrun returns in a couple of weeks. That loud clanging sound you've just heard is me dropping a hint about volunteering.

And we have a test event this Saturday morning at 9:00am.
