Thanks, No. 12 :) That sounds excellent. I wonder if I can persuade my daughter along with the promise of a veggie breakfast.

Whoops, I can't seem to tag you, 57.5! Look forward to meeting you, given your avatar I'll expect you to arrive with a series of explosions! I may even bore you with a detailed description of the restrictions I had to work with!

(Don't worry, I'm not that precious about it, differing opinions are fine 😊 )

Currently trying to choose a Belfast(ish) parkrun for this Saturday. Any Fetchies in the vicinity who might help me make a decision?


I did Ormeau when I was in Belfast. Lovely course, thoroughly enjoyed it, and walking distance to the City Centre

I think you have to type a text bit of the name to tag those of us with initial digits and symbols.

Anyone who did the original Inverness course could justifiably criticise my course design. But it was the best we could do at the time.

57.5 Days of Xmas

I never did it for that very reason but wish I had now as I could have said I had done all three. It’s a bit like the NYD double - never managed one and now it’s too late :-(

57.5 Days of Xmas:

I did the '3 laps of Bught Park pitches' version back in June 2018.

My fondest memory of that day was parkfaffing in Cobbs Cafe afterwards - I got up to leave as I had to get back to my hotel, and one of the other parkrunners went round and asked pretty much everyone in the cafe if anyone could give me a lift in that direction!

I did the '3 laps of Bught Park pitches' version on 5th October 2019. Because of the marathon and other races the next day they had a record number of finishers (442) and ran out of tokens so had to quickly scribble numbers on scraps of paper!

Merry Lip Gloss I'm part of a very small club that did the triple on NYD 2012
