Just as well I never entered That's quite a run by someone round the parkruns! Years back I floated the idea of all the runs, but certainly not running between them. Seven at the time, including Strathclyde, with trains between. And different arrival/departure stations.

The swift arrival of Inverness and Aberdeen events made running between them all a bit difficult from the very early days through.

I think the next year they went over to Northern Ireland and did it there.

Some I’ve done that no longer exist, like the Southside Six and the Barrathon. I’d maybe add the XC at Cumbernauld & Callendar Park. Can’t really be bothered to train for anything much longer than a half these days. Anyone got any others they can think of?
