Has anyone ever cancelled an inaugural after landing down and seeing a crowd of hundreds?

Don't think so, but inaugurals have been cancelled due to the weather.

It has to be done

There was a young man who could run. So he ran to a parkrun for fun
An inaugural puddle left them all in a muddle so they cancelled to search for the sun

From comments made in the briefing at Exmouth this morning, Teignmouth has at last got itself sorted with a core team and will be good to go next month :-)

Teignmouth will be looking for a very soft launch so that we overwhelm the course. It is narrow in places and 2.5 laps. With lots of local parkrunners who currently run at Torbay/Parke/Killerton/Exeter/Exmouth the first few weeks will be busy enough. Will post the official statement here due course...

Don't worry boggle, I won't be making my way over for quite a while :-) Good luck when you do start!

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
