Are Park Runs Destructive ?

[multi coloured]

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

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 !!!!!!


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.

Keep up the good work Master - Yours is my favourite course of all the local parkruns.

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!
