Orangefield in Belfast due to be starting on Aug 4, all being well. Slap bang in between 3 other Belfast events - the hope would be it could perhaps take some away from Victoria, Ormeau and Stormont, which is getting bigger

Orangefield - now there is a name for a parkrun in Belfast. A question I have wondered about - do some parkruns very largely only serve their local community? Or more bluntly: are there catholic parkruns and protestant parkruns?

Things have obviously changed a lot in Belfast in recent years, and parkrun is one big happy family, but still … do people from, say, Orangefield feel entirely comfortable heading down, as an example, the Falls Road to attend Falls parkrun?

August 4th is not the confirmed start date BTW, but when Orangefield does start, everyone is welcome 😉

I don't know if I am allowed to post the inaugural date of the one at Sizewell here now - but it has been widely advertised on other places on the internet.

No need to have my Ready Brek before going to that one!

Yes Doc I will be at Sheringham on Saturday - whether I make it to parkrun or not I can't confirm at this stage (although I hope to) but I will be at the beer festival later in the day!!

Will be attending launch of Cormorant Bay parkrun near Brisbane next weekend. Enjoy a challenging trail run with the potential of roos on the course.

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
