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 can thoroughly recommend Aviemore, though it might be a bit exposed on a cold windy day. Small and friendly event, nice underfoot and an out and back course with quite a bit of gentle climbing in the first half. Fine views, blooming heather and you might even glimpse a passing steam train.

Hello

Are there any York parkrunners doing some parkrun tourism this weekend and have space in a car for 2 carless Scots down for the weekend? Have looked at public transport options which I would do but it's a bit much for my wee dad.

We are staying in the centre but could walk somewhere if easier.

Will obviously contribute to fuel and/or provide sweeties for the journey.

Thanks!!

Or perhaps you knew that and were looking for a lift to Wetherby or other nearby parkrun?

Indeed Sera, she was asking about alterno-parkruns before.

(I finished just behind her at Stirling 10km and can confirm she does not appear to be an axe-murderer ;-).)

Might have been different if you finished just ahead Dvorak

Thought I had to comment given the Axe in my username......

Yeah we wanted to do York but it's cancelled. We are down for my dad's 60th and it would be fine for me to get the train and walk to a parkrun but it's a bit much for him and he really wants to run :-)

Haha, I can confirm I am not an axe murderer, nor is my dad. Just 2 keen parkrunners hoping to scrounge a lift from a kind (non axe murdering) fellow parkrunner :-)

You could get the train to Harrogate parkrun. It's about 15 mins walk from Harrogate train station to the start of parkrun. Or if someone can give you a lift you could come to the nicest pakrun in the uk (as an RD I may be a bit biased) - Fountains Abbey :)
