BK brighter days ahead Jun 2021 12:07pm, 8 Jun 2021 991 posts	Quote Pin BK brighter days ahead Just wondering what percentage of ‘locals’ actually run at Bushy and how likely is it that those whose regular event might not be starting will all head to the same alternative - particularly in London.

jda Jun 2021 2:51pm, 8 Jun 2021 10,288 posts	Quote Pin jda Seems a bit of a shame if they won’t let Penrith (say) go ahead because of some problem in London. Almost seems like it’s more about grandstanding and political point scoring than providing an outlet for the poor beleaguered parkrunner to get some fresh air and exercise…
Spideog Jun 2021 4:05pm, 8 Jun 2021 1,119 posts	Quote Pin Spideog If it was just Penrith that was to restart then it wouldn't be much of a problem. But there are loads of other events inbetween there and London which also have permission and so they need to draw a line across the map at some point which makes it a bit less simple. Most of the events are good to go ahead, and most regions have enough events around each city that there won't be any problems. But do they let one event in the middle of a city go ahead whilst ten other surrounding events don't have permission... or can they bring themselves to tell that one event with permission that they don't actually have permission so that they can let Penrith and the rest of the country restart?
