Oscar's Everyone Day
23rd June 2024
In 2021
Oscar the Grouch proposed one day each year where "we unite as a community and EVERYONE records an activity of some sort - a dog walk, a run, a swim, a ride, ski if you want...".
Sadly we lost Oscar in March, so I'd like to dedicate Everyone Day to him.
Thank you for the inspiration you gave us Oscar.
About this parkrun
My favourite Parkrun. It’s all on wide forest trails with out a sniff of tarmac or concrete! Road shoes are fine but if you want to get the most out of it, wear trail shoes👍🏻

All trail through Forestry commission land. 1km out, 3km around a lake, 1km back. Flat (9m elevation gain).

1Km to lake, 3Km around lake, 1Km back to start/ visitor centre/ car park. Well established route- road shoes fine. Amazing vibe through trees & around lake. Coffee afterwards in the Linwood Visitor Centre.

It's a run in a forest. And there's water alongside. I hope that sounds good to everyone because it is
Single loop which is nice, good facilities although there was an event on when I was there which led to confusion about carparking.

Hard trails throughout, ran it in heavy rain and could (maybe should have?) worn road. Single lapper- uphill then lightly undulating. Very friendly regulars and a stunning setting!

Out to the lake, 1 loop round lake then back the way you came on good paths, lovely trail course. Plenty of parking and friendly volunteers made a really enjoyable parkrun.

Lovely 1 lapper, as Sigh says - 1km up and down to the lake, 3km around the lake, 1km up and down to finish. I wouldn't describe it as flat! All on hard pack trails, can get a little muddy in very wet weather. Road shoes for a fast one are fine!

Undulating forest trails, very muddy in parts but a beautiful setting for some parkrun tourism. Not a pb course but very scenic and would like to run it again in summer if I can
