We had you're right :-), sorry was trolling the troll.

Those who run the Eden Half/Marathon will know how hard the slopes are up and around the biomes.

What they do there is give a piece of paper to put in your car, so you get your free access on the day. On the parkrun, I don't think it can be sustainable for free access, Eden Project is exactly a profit generating success and has been relying on handouts for a while. The lack of EU funds now and Cornwall's unsustainable voting leave then realising it's kissing good bye to 60 million, means it could be in for a rocky few years.

Exmouth Parkrun (confirmed for 23 December) have posted that they would like to have started earlier but couldn't because of the large number of other inaugurals.

A test run on the 16th though, which I'm tempted to go to

Loughborough ducks are an interesting concept....being as it is home to the National Cricket Academy.

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
