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.
