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!

Cemetery's ? Is it ok to jog through them ?

I went for a run past a war graves cemetery while I was on holiday. Although there was nobody else there once inside the cemetery I felt compelled to walk as it was a sad solemn place.

My club does run through a graveyard occasionally; sometimes we even have a drink stop there. No one has raised an objection. It is quite a pleasant space, and locals go for a stroll there, or to walk the dog, possibly even for a short cut to the pub (the Cambridge Blue). The main paths are in good condition; others are a bit uneven.

My local churchyard has a steep sharp hill which is good for hill reps and our club has been known to use but only in the winter when it's dark so no chance of bumping into a funeral.

Thanks all for the advice.
Think I'll stay away for the moment. Deep down I feel it's probably not quite right. Certainly, the noise I'm making just jogging is enough for normal roads let alone a cemetery.

My local cemetery is beautiful and I usually incorporate into a run. Half of it has been left to become a nature reserve, carefully managed, and I have been known to have deer accompanying me in the winter! I would walk if there was a funeral going on but I've not seen one in the 14 years I've been running.

I guess it depends on what sort of cemetery you have close to you.

don't worry about any noise in the cemetery - you ain't going to upset the residents

Sorry; I should also have said welcome to fetch! You've found the right place to help with your new soon-to-be-an obsession!

Both the Ridgeway and Thames Path National Trails pass through the middle of cemeterys
