Something's happened;

Catford & Hilly Fields had permissions granted end of April.
They are now not on the updated list.

Richard - probably a HQ admin issue given that they were calling Valentines Ilford for a few days.

That's a naming mistake, it was still on the list.

Both these are the same LA, & have been removed.
Neighbouring Southwark has only got 1 of their 3(?) so far.

OR - could be that there are multiple landowners or interested parties for some of the others ( can’t be certain on Southwark ). Ours requires permission from 4 different enterprises and only has 2 so far but there will be additional issues for us due to major building work and re-routing.

That map is interesting...

eg Milton Keynes has 2 parkruns, both on sites owned by the Parks Trust. 1 was announced on 27 April, nothing since for the 2nd.

Skipton seems to be on the list now, it’s probably the most crowded I go to. Not a huge crush but the start area is congested and narrow, I wonder if they have planned to move it.

Exeter Riverside has just posted on FB that the University has withdrawn permission to use their rugby pitch fields :-(

To be honest it was another parkrun that became a bit too popular for its own good anyway - the out-and-back stretch shared with a busy cycle path was a bit of a nightmare with hundreds of runners. I hope they can find an alternative route.

That's a shame. My wife got her pb there in earlier days. It being my family home (the city that is). It was a nice run but agree it isn't one that could get too big.
