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!

Were the Canadians covered in snow? HQ might hold that up as a new exemplar, timeswise.

Having only run Stonehaven in boggy conditions I was 47s faster than at Faskally, but about 20s slower than my two very similar times at Queen's. I hear Stoney has more solid paths now, it was tough without!

When I did Faskally it was wet underfoot. University of Stirling was really wet the time I did it so would like to go back again on a nice day.
Stonehaven with the tarmac along the bottom does help but I just don't like running on grass. I am tailwalker there in a couple of week though ;-)

Still considering wotton, but currently the weather looking rather wet which would make it a no ( as I'd still have a lot of miles cover afterwards)

Apparently someone will volunteer for the 1,000th time this weekend & the t-shirt colour is up for discussion.

Only yellow left really, as orange would be too like apricot. Or pink. Or cyan.

(Looks at milestones page)

Ok, cyan is out, that's parkwalk.

Possibly see you at Ellon unless we have decided otherwise ( which can easy happen )

Some suggestion it should be gold? All getting a bit samey to Apricot though... also WithMeNow was suggesting they would introduce a 750 shirt soon, if only to generate more £££.

I have a few versions of the same parkrun but I can't see how you'd collect them officially on an app or whatever.

Alice Holt - three different courses, new and old standard and current temporary
Frimley Lodge - standard old and standard post-covid reversed, also slight changes over the years but probably not really different enough to count
Killerton - main course and Ashclyst Forest
Basingstoke - War Memorial and Crabtree
Homewood - Homewood original and Ottershaw
Rushmoor - standard and canal route (latter no longer used, now they just cancel)
Bracknell - two different courses

I've not done Cranleigh since they unveiled their new course but that would be another different one.
