Sorry, that was a bit terse - blame the cider
I can't say strongly enough how much a quiet start is needed though

No problem multiterrainer. It’s not my local so it will be a while before I visit but after the length of time it’s taken to get this off the ground and the many hassles that we’re behind this it will be nice to see the inaugural go well.

Goof luck HB, although I think you might struggle to keep it low key in Cambridge, not from people chasing inaugrals but just due to the huge local demand & interest

Just to clarify - I am not ED but am helping. We want runners, we want participation. Local Cambridge runners are very welcome from event one onwards. Everyone else, please give us a few weeks to bed down and let the local population get over the shock. No cafe available though which is a disadvantage for us caffeine addicts

:-o. No Coffee & Cake? That'll help keep the numbers down!

Although surely one of the local establishments will have the sense to put themselves forward and get a huge boost in early Saturday morning trade.

Parking could be interesting, too.

Dungannon in Co Tyrone starting in August - most likely the 18th

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
