This is it as it stands at the moment.

Indeed, Danbert, Swinton have been a great support. For our 11th event (which I think you ran?)
I did, and I enjoyed it immensely. I'm sorry I didn't hang around to have a chat afterwards, i wasn't being ignorant, the lad i was with needed to get back to Middleton asap.

Great organisation today - vests-off to James (event director), volunteers/marshalls, sponsors, etc.
A whopping 209 finished the inaugural event today. 54 doing their first parkrun. Bodes well.
Lots of support from Parkrun stalwarts from south-of-manchester and further afield (28 x 50 T's), (12 x 100 T's) and (1x250 T from darn sarf)
A fair few forumites taking part from Buxton, Gloss, Goyt, Stockport, etc.
Very warm even for 9:15 am. Not sure if anyone went on to Shutlingloe later.;)
The course reminded me of a cross between Wythenshawe (grassy bits), Bramhall (woody tree-rooty bits), and everywhere else (Park-pathy-bits).
Funny 2-lap figure-of-eight routing though (I imagine due to the river and other obstacles)

Fantastic turn out at Marple.
Very strong rumours of a parkrun in Delamere Forest on the forest trails too - that would be really good. :thumbup:

Your shoulder was too quick for me Swoop. I need to find a running partner whose shoulder runs at a more sedate pace these days.:)

Brummy John - can you adjudicate please?
Danbert >100 is a disgrace for a forumite!

Re: Are Park Runs Destructive
Good news for East Lancastrians. Burnley Parkrun kicks off this weekend. It's out of Towneley Park, and is virtually all on gravel paths. :)
