PSH didn't run but volunteered at the inaugural inaugural... Very responsible.

Now, you see, that would be welcomed! Volunteer tourists racking up inaugural events, because inaugural events could really use a mass of experienced volunteers.

Eastville and Thornbury were not short on volunteer experience thanks to the void that Little Stoke created.

I have reached the same conclusion as Brucester above. The closest I have come to doing an inaugural was event #6 or 7 at Westmill and found it still seemed pretty disorganised in terms of the route being different to that advertised on the parkrun website, pre-run briefing starting late and going on for ages etc. Sure it was just them bedding in and the event was still good (so this isn't a criticism of them really) but it does make me think that waiting a good couple of months for a new event to settle down is no bad thing (as well as being fairer on the event organisers)!

Maybe Lord Fetch could rename this thread to 'Future parkruns...'. :)

...or "parkruns to do once they have reached event number 5+"?

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
