I'd like to see the elevation on that! Will be interesting what they do for carparking (ie free before 10.30?) and how they will clear the site ahead of punters arriving.

There's a bus service goes from St Austell right to the Eden Project. Except on Saturdays the first bus gets there at 09:06. It could be a lovely warm-up run/walk from Par or St Austell though.

Yep: "Full access to Eden Project. Free entry for parkrunners and spectators at the time of the event only." and "Free on-site parking at Eden Project."

Not sure they'll find that sustainable.

It actually says "Full access to Eden Project. Free entry for parkrunners and spectators at the time of the event only."... which is a little confusing... you have free and full access to the Eden Project if you're a parkrunner or spectator, but only at the time of the event, when you'd be parkrunning or spectating, so what good is full access? :-/

I took that to mean free entry on Saturday mornings, you can't just turn up anytime with a barcode and expect to get in for free, maybe even at 10am Saturday.

Well, you get your walker to take 90 minutes to complete, whilst you have a good look round whilst "spectating".

I would like to see the Eden Project, but it's a bit far from me :-(.

But once you're in, you're in.

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
