If one of the objects of Parkrun is to make races accessible to people who don't necessarily have public transport then that nor Tatton Park hit the spot at all. And the Alex Park 5k isn't free.
RunningBob Feb 2009 6:46pm, 15 Feb 2009 1,481 posts	Quote Pin RunningBob It is very, very early days but the ideas are Platt Fields (hopefully involving Uni) and/or Heaton Park. Both ideal venues - depending on where you live of course. I'm aware that Platt Fields is next door to Alex Park and I wouldn't want to tread on their toes. But I think that 9am Saturday is probably a different crowd from noon Sunday. Who knows the way it is growing at Bramhall we might be forced into Woodbank / Vernon Park as well. But if anyone would like to start a parkrun somewhere in NW then let me know. Really it is just a case of getting a group together who are (between them) willing to turn out every Sat morning. I can help you with the rest. Or if you'd be interested in joining forces with others in the above 2 parks. Lyme Park and beyond is my favourite place to run but not really parkrun - that needs public transport, traffic free, wide all-weather paths - ha ha like we have at Bramhall ;).

If you want a hi res for print then I have ones from the "Catherine" folder - fmail me the file name. I can ask for copies from the "Annette" folder. Annette took some particularly good ones this week.

I get the impression that they are about 50% Bramhall / Cheadle area with most of the rest Stockport / S. Manchester. But certainly people travelling from N. Manchester, Warrington, Homerland etc.
