Foxy I was around 5 or 6 mins late so had to run a mile solo before catching a few people - was sub 8 not going nuts with tough marathon tomorrow. watch time - 24.21. 100 Marathon Club, MK Lakeside Runners, Milton Keynes Lakeside Runners 19:02 21:51 24:30 29:14 45.95
ktrose1981 I think this is my slowest ever parkrun! I ran with Zoe and we ran slowly so that she didn't get a headache and could go to the gym afterwards. I've got Oakley tomorrow so it was probably wise not to run too fast but this was very slow. I didn't feel like I was putting any effort in and was so immersed in conversation by 4k that I'd forgotten we were even doing parkrun! I think we were probably right at the back. Having said that it was a nice social run and we had a good chat and I notched up parkrun number 36 towards my 50 t-shirt. 259 calories burnt. Averaged 12.09 minute miles.

About this parkrun

First ever parkrun for me. Of special note is the zig zag climb up some big steps before a nice lap of the lake. Haven't been back since Bedford parkrun started, but I remember it with fondness, especially when there was snow and the lake froze over.

An award winning single lap parkrun around Willen Lake - without a doubt road shoes.

A lovely one lap course entirely on good paths. One steep zig-zag after one mile the only climb. Is popular, can get congested.

Hills of Death (HOD) 22nd Mar 2019

One lap course regularly voted best/prettiest parkrun. 600ish runners every week. Single lap. All relatively flat except the famous 'zigzags' just after mile 1 which are the disabled access to the park. Loads to see. Definitely road shoes

Tough first half and absolutely stunning second half, what more could you want
Krispy 2nd Jul 2019

Big event, including runs along canal towpath, some steep zig-zags up a hill, then a downhill section before finishing with a lap of Willen Lake. Bandstand finish. There have been different versions of this parkrun, the current route is the best.

big event scenic park & lakeside, long queues for an expensive coffee

Scenic route taking in the canal and lake. Tends to get a bit bottle necked at the start so unless you're near the front you can lose time there. Zig zags also slow you down a bit but from there it's downhill and round lake. Can get very busy too.
