We used double funnels at Surrey Leagues it works well. It's more the course than the funnels I think. As you say those barriers are difficult. Do cars still have access to that car park in Battersea or has that stopped now? I used to live nearby but it's a long time since I've run laps of Battersea, maybe it will be fine. |

They can no doubt work round it either way..It'd just have to be in the brief to get down to double file for that barrier. |

Regarding Holyrood route, does anyone know if it is lit all the way around? I’m guessing it is. I’ll be going in October and may do a couple of laps early morning before I leave for home so just wondering if packing a head torch may be useful.

Not sure. Maybe ask on the Scottish runners thread. It’s a popular route for runners and cyclists all year.

Can’t see lampposts in any images tbh. Remember ours start at 0930.

Yeah, not a problem for the parkrun. But I’ll do some running on the route early on the Monday AM, possibly.

I have to say it's never sat well with me when it appears that a parkrun is being shoehorned into somewhere where it probably shouldn't be, like Battersea.

Why probably shouldn't it be?

Yes Holyrood is almost exactly one lap. Just a few metres short. A very convenient route to have a road just the right length!

(Well if you want to be precise maybe 200m short of a full lap)
