Meanwhile the dates for the FE promoted running events (£22 for a 5k!) are getting ever closer, with only about 8 weeks between these and the proposed restart of parkrun

forestryengland.uk

Up to them if they want to use their venues for monetised events; they are a business trying to make money, after all. But if their plan is to close down a good chunk of FE parkrun events then I'd just be interested in finding out sooner rather than later.

I'd expect a full series of 5 or 6 events of 5km for £22.

£22 for one run puts into perspective paying £15 for a t-shirt for 50 and 100 runs.

But perhaps best not go there....

6 quid, chip timed, closed venue, that was my Saturday 5k. Yes, unlike parkwalkjogrunsprintstroll, it was a real race :-)

I’ve just done a parkrun! I didn’t realise how much I had missed the hubbub at the start and the amazing sound of feet when you all settle into a rhyth just after the start. And the joy of a results text!

Oh lucky you to be in Jersey. I am waiting for all the restrictions to lift - I know that you can travel to Guernsey without tests and quarantine from July 1st if you have been double jabbed but didn't book anything as I was worried they might change their minds!
