    Re: Are Park Runs Destructive

    I ran Alex Park one Sunday 2 years ago (when it was still a mixed 5k) and even mixed there were only about 40 runners, and 10 of those were Gloss as it was the 'joker' in our club champs that year. It is still my 5k PB park course ahead of Platt Fields. What sticks out in my memory is that the post-run refreshments was a supermarket trolley full of bananas, courtesy of the ladies who run 'Friends of Alex Park' or summut like that.

    I'd be up for this. I take it you are volunteering as Course Director and sponsor, Swoop? Dont forget the bananas.

    PS. I am sure I can persuade TimothyDaltonmyarse, as he's gagging for a sub-20 again and a 70%er now that he's back to fighting weight.
    A flat dry course is just what he needs. Platt Fields just cant deliver on the 'dry' part right now.
    He's whopping me right now, although I seem to recall I was a smidging ahead of him on that run at Alex Park 2 years ago.
