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!

I think Ally's might now be in Ireland? Scotland's not overrun, for sure.


It’s actually Talkin Tarn.

I think many parkrunners are quite terrortorial

21 in a 20 mile radius, I've done 8

Multiple visits to the 2 that were nearest my former house and nearest to my current house, both have run to routes and both are largely off road so neither is overly fast. Pure coincidence :-)

I'm sure a visit to my local fast course will happen again this year but I have no desire to travel just for a parkrun so my touristing is purely caused by life hence I've done them on the South Coast the East Coast , South Wales and been to the North of Scotland.

The app says 427 at 80 locations - I can still look at where I've visited and know why I was there :-)

Last year 11 and attended 3 new locations
This year 2 and 1 new location

A lot of my further Parkruns have been combined with another purpose or en route for another reason.
