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!

Cheltenham Parkrun anyone?

Thanks LazyDaisy - My window cleaner is a member of Almost Athletes and said I should go along. I passed one of your members running the Bristol Half at the weekend too and said hello! Maybe I'll get round to it soon?!

Joint_ear - So does it look like the 6th October one won't go ahead? I've been talking to a few running buddies who're all really excited at the prospect of having one here. Do please keep us informed!

No. Still no news on a start date :-(

Joint_ear is there anything the rest of us can do to get things moving? Anyone at the council we need to lobby perhaps?

No, "still in discussions with council" it seems. :-(

Come on Cheltenham Borough Council this would surely tick the "community health" boxes!

Just heard about this from the AA FB page. V up for it, and happy to volunteer maybe one out of three and when injured (which is all the time lol). Would really like it to be a 'real' parkrun event though cos of the sense being part of a national (global) running movement, their stats and achievements etc. I believe when you join up with them they can help with finding funding/sponsorship.
