LOL!! I reckon I’d be closer to 46:18 right now!
Have you run at the Eden Project parkrun? Having walked round there this week i thought that might also be one to avoid!!

Ha, Eden Project is probably my favourite of the ones I’ve done. Helped by the fact it was free entry for parkrunners and spectators for the rest of the day, too.

Not any more: "Free entry for parkrunners and spectators at the time of the event only"

Hasn’t the site always said that? IE, you can’t turn up at 10am and expect to get in? The full text is: “Full access to Eden Project. Free entry for parkrunners and spectators at the time of the event only”.
I could be wrong though

Also, unless they’ve changed the course, which I don’t think they have, the parkrun starts outside and ends inside the grounds. So I believe it is still free for parkrunners and spectators. But again, apologies if I’m wrong.

Ah possibly, I'd looked a while back at veering off from a planned semi-local visit and assumed that meant 'no longer' (but had only read the line on the course page)
Ignore me!

I’d agree with Big_G, when I did it they gathered the spectators before the start and walked them to the finish avoiding the ticket desks.

Sorry, my misinterpretation. Look forward to replanning it in!

I ran Eden project last week. Yes you can get you and the family in for free if one of you parkruns. You can even pop back out to the car to change and pick up stuff free you have finished. To be honest you save the entry free but you still manage to spend loads on food, drink, plants, gifts etc!
