Excellent Highbury is a nice one most laps I've done plus nearest one to where I was born.

Although Market Harborough was 3 and a bit close #32 different one I am to do 50 different by next year

Only done Highbury Fields once, but everyone was very lovely. Where you from originally then HoD? I think Hampstead Heath is marginally nearer than Highbury to where I grew up, but there’s not much in it.

I have been to Peterborough - when it was quiet and crowd free ( - 200 ) and also shortly after numbers started reaching 350 when it was less pleasant. I believe they have changed the route but not sure how they cope with 450/500.

Meant to add that, at Peterborough, there is the Nene Valley Steam train nearby - if you are into that and the Marriott hotel did us an excellent post run breakfast.

An article about one of our regular first finishers - he's the course record holder at Beckenham Place and his PB at Hilly Fields is 16.23. Both parkrun and Kent AC have helped him find a place in this country, whatever the final verdict on his status.

I’m from Camden originally becca. I enjoyed it, but had to make sure I kept track of the laps! (5 and a bit).
