i was interested to see that, despite it being an inaugural for the 5k at Eastville Park tomorrow, the junior parkrun there has been going a while (31 runs to date). I sort of assumed they were normally created off of the back of the 5k's but clearly some are independent. No reason they shouldnt be, just hadnt seen it before.

Stirling has a junior parkrun and no adult one, so must be a few

I wonder if Dumfries Juniors is the furthest from a 5K parkrun, being about 29 miles from Carlisle parkrun?

Helix, Prestwick Oval, and Rouken Glen are other that I know of which, although in the vicinity of 5K events, are unlinked to other parkruns. Nor at either of the Edinburgh junior runs.

Very excited about the German ones. One is near my friend's house :)

Oh, I will be working not too far away from Hannover the week after it starts. My ability to not drink too much the night before and get a train early on the Saturday will be tested :)

I've got a dilemma too. I'll be near Mannheim in Jan but on a Thurs. I *could* stay an extra night....

I nearly had a calendar fail. I woke up and decided against Eastville inaugural as I have a feeling it might attract a big attendance with all the surrounding parkruns. I have decided to wait a few weeks. So I diverted. Of course I then discover its starting next week. That was close....

TomahawkMike: as I understand it, they ran the Eastville test event at 9am this morning - all good to go for next week.

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
