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!

Well, seeing as though it officially launches this weekend I thought, like other parkruns, it should have it's own thread :-)

Details at: parkrun.org.uk

Trial run went pretty well last week, other than a few people who went astray taking wrong turns :P Don't think I'll finish as high as I did in the trial run (2nd), when the real thing starts :P

I'm hoping to run the parkrun at conkers tomorrow. I usually run the Milton Keynes one but am in the area. Is it a fast course?

Stevie - I've not run another other park runs so I'm not able to compare to others, but I'd say it is' fairly fast' :-) Mixture of surfaces, but mainly compact trail. A very short, sharpish incline at 2k just as a little tester.

tiamo - I'll have to see if I can get use to 9am runs, I don't do fast runs that early normally :P

:) Won't be able to do tomorrow. Did a 5 mile run on the treadmill this morning & now my foot is very sore again. Am hoping to come over on the 23rd though.
