What would be my chances of running it and making it to my brother’s wedding at Normanton Church at 10am?!! Anywhere I can wash and change before I go? This is only semi-serious, I imagine my family will be furious if I even attempt it!

Old Man Oct 2018 12:57am, 11 Oct 2018 3,375 posts	0 Old Man I measured the course and we had to move the start in the early days to past the driveway to the Church as we were in danger of blocking Wedding traffic with streams of runners going both out and back!! It's a beautiful setting for a Wedding and consequently very popular and very busy Whilst there's toilets available which the runners use, I'm really not sure about shower facilities unless you are a guest at the nearby hotel, which is walking distance from both the start/finish and Church The "official" parkrun cafe is alongside the fishing shop where you get your reduced parkrun parking ticket rather than the Normanton Hotel Any other questions just ask
