sharpend   11 #1022 Posted January 4, 2017 Odd question - Anyone know anywhere round here with a series of cobbles?  I am doing an event which has significant sections of cobblestone roads and I want to "acclimatise"  Ideally, I would want a section of cobbles or road/pavement surface that is similar that I could build a lap around.  Strange question I know but any ideas?

jemson   10 #1023 Posted January 5, 2017 Does anyone know anything about the Resolution Run at Rother Valley in January. Very sketchy details on their website. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about the 12k route that goes on the rougher terrain paths around the park.  Just noticed that this race is crossed out on Steel City Striders website calendar. Cancelled? Although still listed on Rother Valley site - ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rvparkrun   10 #1028 Posted January 28, 2017 A good news story (I hope) for the new defribs. Any idea which local Park runs already have them apart from Clumber and Doncaster?   We have access to the defib kept at the watersports centre at Rother Valley Country Park.  We have a radio so we can contact the park rangers in the event of an emergency and the AED (defib) can be taken to the party concerned.  RVp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sgtkate   10 #1030 Posted January 30, 2017 Flanker, which parkruns are on a sunday? I'm trying to do one with a friend and she can't make Sat mornings...I thought they were all Saturday at 9am? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Flanker7 Â Â 20 #1031 Posted January 30, 2017 Sorry to mislead you. Only Junior parkrun's are on sundays at 9am over a 2k distance. Â Organised woodland/park Night runs seem to be appearing all over. Like those on National trust properties. They seem to be lots of fun with a string of cycle headlights bobbing along in front and behind you. Â I'm not sure of your level but there are numerous starter/improver groups like 'Couch to 5k' that generally do their sessions on weekday evening's. I will root out some contact details and re-post with detail soon. Â Anyone with more info please post here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
