the website is live now so you can find all the details! It's still an hour from me so I have no interest to visit any time soon.

The location is one that I used frequently when the children had sports matches..... It was always a relief when matches were there as it was nearer to home than the school pitches.

@DocM A friend of mine did it and said they’d recommend trail shoes as it was muddy in parts around a rugby pitch.

I guess you mean RD - lots of events only have 1 ED :)

Another new event started last week, Black Rocks near Matlock - another one on a old railway track.

@DocM was it busy? I saw someone moaning on a parkrun tourism site that it should have been cancelled because of too much mud -)

@Metro_Nome I’m not sure if he deleted it as he didn’t find anybody agreeing.

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
