This cynical attempt by Great Run & EA to displace parkrun is certainly getting off to a slow start:
5K runner numbers up to today:
Wythenshawe 27th Jan: 18,11,26,15,13,11,13,5,10,9
Debdale 8,8,9

It doesn't appear in Powerof10 at all, as far as I can see, and they do desribe them as 'Park runs' in their event info.

Having said numbers were low: one of our holiday visitors to Aberystwyth parkrun yesterday managed a PB, partly thanks to there being 30-odd runners at Aber rather than 300 in Newcastle, and there's nothing wrong with having events on a Sunday as well.

I'm off to help with the breakaway federation of official parkrun courses now. Chip timing. (I made that bit up..)
