Pinkliverbird Jul 2012 4:06am, 23 Jul 2012 338 posts	Quote Pin Pinkliverbird Thanks for that andy. That one's really easy for me to get to and I could easily run to the start of it. The train links may come in handy as well. whw looks good too.

Dvorak Aug 2012 10:59pm, 18 Aug 2012 5,518 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Reading PH's blog about running fifty different parkruns got me thinking: could you do all the Scottish ones in a day? In the summer, I think it could be possible. For example: Glasgow 08:00; Strathclyde 09:30; Falkirk 11:00; Edinburgh 12:30; St Andrews 14:30; Dundee 16:00; Aberdeen 18:00; Inverness 20:30. I think there is some form of Fetchie involvement in all of them? Could greet people and keep them right. (Thinks) Though it might be easier to do a Central Scotland/ NW England eight. for some - not including myself. 40K in a day - that's almost a marathon!
