Seen the Lanhydrock course... looks like another park run where sub 20 minutes will probably win you the race (Plymouth has one like that). Doesn't Cornwall ever do flat?

I wonder if the weather will affect the decisions from local authorities on some of these potential ones. e.g. Reigate Priory - this is an absolute mudbath - I ran it on NYD. (Then again, I'm a glutton for punishment.) Ground was completely waterlogged. I think the council would be reluctant to approve anything currently.

Canterbury's facebook page now states start date is postponed due to concerns about the route, although parkrun page still says 11th Jan.

About This Thread

Maintained by sLickster
There may be an inaugural parkrun happening near you. Best to check with the local parkrun volunteers to see if they want you to know about it or not.

Otherwise there are plenty of already established parkruns to go to in the UK and abroad, see: parkrun.org.uk
