While we are at it, the rules also say.... The name should reference the smallest identifiable, geographical area in which the event takes place. i.e. the name of the park or open space should be used wherever possible In the majority of cases, the location should be easily found using online mapping tools as a location name without the word parkrun. Names known only to locals should be avoided. The name must not be influenced by or contain third parties (organisations, company names or local authorities). Care must be taken that the web address works, so occasionally event names may be re-jigged to accommodate this. |

"Names known only to locals should be avoided" Hence why the run to the West of Hull is called Anlaby Park parkrun. Oh, hang on, no it isn't... |

Penistone (Edge of Peak District/West of the M1 in Barnsley District) have a test run to sort out a feasible route next Saturday (13/10). I'd imagine it may well be an out and back on the Transpennine Trail/disused railway line.

Very good, dvorak. What other parkruns would be in that challenge? No shortage of mouths - Exmouth, Bournemouth etc. or heads - Hazlehead, Maidenhead. Armley. Fell Foot. Lee on the Solent. Heartlands or Heartwood Forest (both count twice). Bedgebery Pinetum. Cassiobury. Where else? |

Good list. Stonehaven. (Ear)Drumchapel. Livingston and Peebles (tbc) would only be near misses, I reckon. |
