So many along that bit of the M5 and so few out in the Cotswolds. That's a big hole in the map.

Thanks for the Oxford advice ^^ Very much related to there being no runs in the Cotswolds!

Eastville looks comfortably runnable from the Temple Meads station. Fabulous.

Finally, it's out there.... I've been biting my tongue for weeks! I am ED of Thornbury, having just handed over the ED superpowers of Little Stoke juniors to a couple of my RDs. Fellow Fetchie (and, I'm very pleased to say, my lo-... wife), @BarefootEm, is also a Thornbury RD :)

I didn't realise tge City of Bristol didn't have a parkrun until now - checking the map the Ashton Court route goes within 100 m of the boundary but never crosses it.

If you lean over the fence beside the coffee shop at Ashton Court then you'll be partially in Bristol. :)

I'm surprised there isn't one on Clifton Downs - it's a nice green area.

Certain local by-laws prohibit it Fetch as its a conservation area IIRC. They have looked into it and had some discussions I believe but its a no-goer. I always found it surprising considering the Downs football league with many matches each weekend is allowed.

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
