Wettest one for me was Whinlatter for one of the GP takeovers, rained so heavy we were drenched before it started!! One of our club runners, Jaye, took the pics. Vinnie & me in the middle looking drowned...

I suspect that tide tables help to inform many beach based courses to adopt an alternative route: certainly, this is the case at Crosby.

Wet from above and wet underfoot too when I walked the Prudhoe parkrun a couple of years ago.

Wettest for me was Mile End #250 - where it absolutely howled it down.
We have a regular "water feature", which can range from bone dry to filling one of the paths. When that happens, people tend to run on the other side - which is ok on the first lap, but on the second runs the risk of being barrelled over by one of the speedsters heading for the finish.

We've got a new parkrun being planned near me, and I think it may have a claim to be the wettest parkrun in the winter. There are some lakes in the park and in the winter they joined together across the path, you couldn't even see where the path was meant to be. It has been approved, the only sticking point now is parking as there is building work at the school offering car parking over the summer but there may well be a lot of winter cancellations.

I thought my third ever parkrun was quite damp (https://www.flickr.com/photos/80506300@N02/albums/72157660791383484) but some of these posts make it seem quite arid.

Forest of Dean was probably my absolute wettest. Still winderful, even in the rain.
