I realise I’ve not committed to “best” out of the 3 you mention.. I liked Worcester Woods - just my sort of thing.

We cancelled Elgin at lunch time - flooded for most of first loop, rain and snow forecast overnight - and still some t**t complained suggesting we simply used an alternative course - he was swiftly corrected by our core team!!!!!. He and an other complainant aren't even registered parkrunners!!!!!!

@Son of a Pronator Man Worcester (not Pitchfork) was VERY busy/congested with 599 participants when I was there about a month back. The course, whilst nice, wasn't conducive to overtaking if you get caught in the main flow.
Either get right to the front at the start or expect to find yourself in a bit of a procession for at least the majority of the first lap.

A number of local parkruns that were going to be on have cancelled. Cue the stream of emails asking if we're going ahead tomorrow. Nope, never planned to, we've never held a run on NYD as we like to give the team the opportunity to tour.

Nearly misread that post, Fetch. Bedworth (my local) is still on at the moment. 🤞
