Don't know if it was Poznan - which certainly looks interesting from those pictures - or if the situation has evolved since but....
Big_G Oct 2022 10:30am, 25 Oct 2022 2,096 posts	Quote Pin Big_G I keep seeing posts on Facebook from people who seem to know something about a proposed start in Spain for parkrun. Does anyone know anything about that? There’s nothing official, is there, or have I missed something?

Have you been to see us at Alton Water yet? Not yet Baroness - I'm a little behind on Suffolk events these days as I tend not to tour nowadays.

Does anyone know anything about that? There’s nothing official, is there, or have I missed something? Nothing official as far as I know. Unofficially: "parkrun is due to start in South Korea & Hungary in November 2022 & Spain & Portugal sometime in 2023." We'll just have to wait and see what HQ say.
