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.

I’ve not seen the route that flooded in years, hopefully it’ll stop raining soon so they don’t have to cancel any more!

The bit with the bench is not usually under water!

Sandhurst are considering an alternative route to avoid the flooding, otherwise there could be lots of cancellations.
Is that the Balancing Pond, Fleecy?

Yep, I went for a run round there and nearly fell in tiptoeing round the other side

Burnage used to regularly run through thigh-deep water in winter.

I think they've changed the course now :-(

or assuming the course map on the website is up-to-date, maybe they haven't :-)

It would certainly be ironic if you fell in the Balancing Pond.

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
