Clitheroe is 5 laps with a disgusting hill, and it’s so steep down that it doesn’t feel like a break!
Worst one I have done is Street in Somerset - running a W shape round some playing fields a few times. So boring. When it’s like that I do wonder why people bother - it sucks all the joy out of running for me! I want a pretty course and no more than 2 laps or I’d rather just go by myself 
Prison ones?! I’d never considered that would be a thing
It is indeed a thing. And very positive - https://blog.parkrun.com/uk/2023/07/25/the-positive-impact-of-parkrun-in-custodial-estates/
Wow, that’s great. Thanks for sharing the link. Looks like there’s some here in Aus, too
I'm due to volunteer at a local but not my home parkrun and if they don't decide early enough I might get there to bad news... Guess it would get my food shop done earlier if they do cancel as I wouldn't have time to get to an alternative parkrun.
I’ve decided to give parkrun a rare miss tomorrow because it’s going to be 0c and sleet here! Probably considered child cruelty to drag the 3yo out in her buggy around the local ‘winter course’ which is basically like school xc - no thanks
All of our local ones have cancelled, so we are having a rare Saturday morning without an alarm. Other than the toddler-alarm, of course...
Anything within an hour or so of me is off. Not that I think I’d get my car off the ice rink that is my road tomorrow anyway! Looking forward to a lie in
This is the one closest to my daughter, had thought about doing it when I was visiting her but 5 laps sounds torture.
Parkrun had it's most parkwalkers last Saturday. We were talking about how they classify someone as a parkwalkers, I'm assuming it is purely based on time. But we have lady who walks it in 45 minutes and runners who take 50 minutes. Does anyone know the cut off time for running/walking?
I was wondering this too. What have they based it on? I’d love to know
From what I’ve read online its finishers over 50 minutes
Thanks, we had quite a few walkers under 50 minutes so they were selling themselves short
