One inaugural for me which is third closest and was second closest to me at the time. If I remember they publicised the launch If another one nearby started I would consider but wouldn’t travel specifically for it. |

I've been to three inaugurals, one as a marshal following a late request on FB, and as a runner at two of my closest ones in the past couple of years. I've also missed several that I knew about but couldn't get to on the day.

About nine inaugurals (and three event #2) run, one (my home run) volunteered at. Only one semi-recently (last year) which was local. There's not actually been many recently in any reasonable travelling distance.

Two inaugurals here - both 'back in the day'. One, Fell Foot, was the first within an hour of home and is where I'm now a Run Director. The other, Lancaster, was the second within an hour of home and was visited when Fell Foot was cancelled for two months following Storm Desmond at the end of 2015. I have since visited the other three within an hour of home and have been to a number of other locations when travelling for other reasons.

I've run six inaugurals, all back when it was encouraged, and also been timekeeper at two more.

Only run inaugural I think; and it was also my first ever parkrun.

Run 7 inaugurals, the most recent being in 2014, and volunteered at 2 more, both of which were my local parkruns at the time.

Mr J
Seems like lots of us ran inaugurals 'back in the day'. Not sure that I could find a new one now. This is my only social media (happy with that fact) - never got into anything else. |

@fetcheveryone I guess I asked for that 😀 (b#####d) I rode lead bike at the first Danish parkrun (I had a stress fracture) |

What's the oldest Danish one? My eldest is out in Copenhagen at the moment for a few months, and it surprised me to see that the parkruns he's done have higher event numbers than our local one.
