Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ah thanks for that, I have been to Potty yet and it was on a potential list.
Usually when the weather is too bad for cycling a park run is what I do.

Peco XC at Rounday has been cancelled on Sunday, ground not recovered from Ed Sheeran.

Storthes Hall, Huddersfield, is determined to be back on next week after we suffered damage to the course during Storm Dennis. There is still a lot of debris and small branches on the course and we are asking for volunteers to arrive at 8.00am and help us to kick or push as much of it as we can to the sides of the path. We can't do much about the gully that has opened up on one of the paths, but there is no longer water in it and we are asking for extra marshals and will put cones out along it so that runners go one side or the other.

Any Fetchies fancy a trip over that way on Saturday we could really use your help, and we'll put you down as a volunteer too.

Just hitching onto this thread to ask for recommendations for the best parkrun local to the arena district in Leeds?

Preferably not a multilapper! lol!

Would be nice to say hello to fetchies

Depends what "Local" to the arena means? On face value would I expect that limits you to either Woodhouse Moor, Armley or Potternewton.

All are multi-lappers. WM has large numbers, the other two smaller and probably more of a community 'feel'. From those 3, PN would be my preferred.

(I'm based in N.Notts but have done all the Leeds & surrounding are parkruns so feel free to take my comments with a pinch of salt).

Just as an aside - I don't recall any of them having particularly good facilities (toilet provisions, cafes etc.) in their immediate vicinities, although with WM being a stones through from the city centre this is likely to have a larger range of options.

There are some decent cafes near Woodhouse Moor, less so Potternewton.
