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!

Let's talk about inaugural parkruns after they've happened.

Let's see if this works cc.bingj.com

If not, it was the first result for "prince Philip park parkrun" on Bing search.

The link worked when I had previously posted it on the FB version of this forum :-)

I'm not allowed to advertise the start date for the inaugural Mole Valley parkrun at Denbies Vineyard near Dorking as the Run Directors have asked for a low key first event. I can appreciate that as I visited Tooting Common on Saturday & they ran out of finish tokens as they had a record 812 runners. However, I can tell you that it will start sometime in the Spring as planning permission to expand Denbies overflow parking came through in October.

Why so many at Tooting last week. That’s 500 more than recent weeks. Even with the usual spike in numbers on the first Saturday after New Year’s, that a big increase.

And similar with neighbouring Brockwell. Though as it is Tooting Common's 100th next week, maybe a question for the regular parkrun thread ;-).

Seen in Bressay related chat, active plans for Orkney and preliminary moves afoot for Thurso. Medium to long term before either are seen, I would think.

Bressay has an issue which will limit numbers somewhat: it is £5.60 return for the seven-minute ferry crossing. Only £1 for Shetland Island OAPs and under-19s, which may result in some interesting demographics for the run.

Good to hear about Thurso. They have a brilliant club scene up there, so I've always been surprised that there wasn't one earlier. Nice wee tourism potential for me.

About This Thread

Maintained by sLickster
There may be an inaugural parkrun happening near you. Best to check with the local parkrun volunteers to see if they want you to know about it or not.

Otherwise there are plenty of already established parkruns to go to in the UK and abroad, see: parkrun.org.uk
