You've got to love a guy who knows everything about nothing, them there gravel tracks are full of soil with grass on them, so much grass and soil in fact that it had to be cancelled because it was too wet to run on the other week, CANCELLED IN JUNE BECAUSE OF WEATHER !!!!!! :o
Parkruns are doing very little for the future of athletics.:thunbdown:

Fact - 111 runners there last Saturday.
Fact - Burnley parkrun is actually doing really well and continues to attract new runners week on week.
Opinion - Anything that encourages people to get off there backsides and get fit has to be a good thing.

PS - It's the 2nd anniversary at Oldham tomorrow. Why don't you come along for a run and a free bacon butty with us tomorrow multi coloured, you'd love it? :thumbup:

King Witton Canutes views on parkrun will soon be consigned to the past along with space hoppers and packets of crisps with the salt inside a twist of blue paper.:w00t:
i think the park runs are a superb idea, like you say Danbert it's get's everyone from all walks of life jog, run, walk sprint! you can use it as a speed workout, a social run or go for your PB! best though is that it's FREE!

the great yorkshire show got cancelled for the 1st time because of the weather as well, so park runs are in good company!
Re: Are Park Runs Destructive
Faluja Singh, 101 years old, ran at Valentines Parkrun. And, did you know there is a Parkrun Show Podcast every week? Also to be found on Facebook.
