Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The hill there is really brutal(2).

Hi all, got a question that I thought I'd ask here before venturing onto the Facebook groups.

I've done Heaton Park a couple of times recently (in-laws moved near there) and they have all these special coloured vests for people to wear when celebrating milestones, birthdays, first parkrun etc.

I'm going to be doing a milestone at Bushy Park in a few weeks' time - does anyone know if they have something similar? If not I'll sort something out myself.

Thanks!

@sparklecloud I’d doubt it because it’s far too busy.

@Looby Loo I thought that might be the case. Thanks!

Another big turnout (for us) at Avery Hill today for our not-inaugural. Funnily enough exactly the same as last week’s farewell to Greenwich with 325 finishers. Not seen numbers that high since before lockdown.

Oh no @Windsor Wool bet you did the loop 😆
Silloth parkrun for me. Lovely event with loos, free parking and a lovely volunteer crew and cafe- highly recommend if you are in Cumbria.

LOL, no I didn’t do the the loop but still shuffled a bit far back. Just wanted to enjoy it tbh which can be seen by the fact that I ran 19:00. Running round numbers like that is shameful 😂.

Glad you enjoyed it though. Probably my favourite parkrun in London now.

Got something to say?
