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
2.5 laps on tarmac and canal paths. One steady hill three times, 47m elevation gain total. Free parking available in large carpark but quite a walk. Nice course.

2.5 laps up and around the park, with a nice canalside section and a reasonable climb faced 3 times in the 2.5 laps. Park at Nostell Priory for free, 5 minute walk to the start. Some slippy corners, canalside can be muddy but road shoes friendly.

Possibly my favourite to date. Mostly tarmac with a short section along the canal that might be muddy in poor conditions. Hilly but didn't feel so. Parking easy, with a warm up stretch to the start. Very friendly, small field, 2.5 laps!

Surprisingly nice. Seems like a normal town park but has a surprise section along the Bridgewater canal which is great. Worse thing is the starting hill: hit it before you're ready!
Small field of runners which meant I finished 11th, my best ever

Two and a half laps. One challenging hill which is tackled three times. Mostly tarmac and some well surfaced towpath.

Hilly but a very nice course. Make sure you visit the community cafe afterwards.
