Are Park Runs Destructive ?

[Danbert Nocurry]

Inaugural Warrington Parkrun tomorrow morning. I had a run round on Tuesday.
Although it is pretty flat there are a few twists and turns, a bit of trail and it crosses a rugby field, so it won't be a pb course.

Doesn't it take in a section along the ship canal too Colin?

Yes, that's the bit of trail (Trans Pennine).
Managed to get into the top hundred - 94th out of 418!!

You were just behind my pal Barry C from Vale Royal.

418 for a first time event is impressive.

I thought I might have seen you at the Northerns this afternoon?

Twice in two days. He was just in front of me yesterday at the Birchwood 5K!

I see the Great Run locations in Manchester have expanded too;

We now have

Wythenshawe Park

Debdale Park

Boggart Hole Clough Park

Birchfields Park

and

Salford Quays

Still a joke though.
There were 2 competitors at Birchfields today and the winner reportedly ran 13.18 for 5K! 108.3% age graded!

8 ran Wythenshawe, 10 Debdale and 6 Boggart. Hardly taking off considering it's been going nearly a year.

Just to let you park runners know, there will be a park run starting on the 1st of March in the grounds of Fountains Abbey, I think it will be 2 laps. Parking will be at the visitor centre. Nice cafe for drinks and grub for afters at the NT visitor centre, Keep an eye on the PR website for more details,
