We had the same first finisher at our first four events. Under 18 mins in the stillest day of the four, over 20 on the windiest. (That was on our alternate route which in accordance with policy is a bit longer than 5k).

Sorry just realised that was ambiguous- all four were on the alternate route so the wind was the main difference. We’re right in the North Sea so when the wind blows it really blows and makes a huge difference to people’s times.

Might have the option of doing one of Didcot, Abingdon or Grove Fields in a few weeks. Don't care about hilliness, surfaces etc. Would just like to do the nicest. Suggestions which one please. |

I did Didcot and Abingdon a while back and Grove Fields recently. From what I remember I preferred Abingdon (although it might be because I got a good time!)

Abingdon is fast as its flat but hardly a great run Didcot is flat and laps and not great Both have grass so weather matters No idea on Grove Fields |

Might have to resort to the "I don't have a "G" in the Alphabet Challenge" method of decision making then...

No.12
allow a very brisk 10 minute walk from the designated car park at postcode (OX12 9BP) to Grove Fields parkrun as it is a bit of a walk.

Good call. There is closer parking I think but the one on the website is a warm-up jog away.
