A clever statto at UK parkrun tourists has worked out that 70 runners from Graves followed PSH to Poolsbrook, did a double with him, and helped set a new attendance record by 94 as well!

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?

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 - ?

Blimey - in the nick of time- the two week old defibrillator at Clumber Park parkrun was used at the weekend.

 

https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=clumber%20park%20parkrun

 

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.

Sorry to mislead you.

Only Junior parkrun's are on sundays at 9am over a 2k distance.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Anyone with more info please post here

I'm a bit beyond the couch to 5k as I'm training for the sheff half marathon, but just wanted to take a friend to parkrun for the atmosphere. We shall have to wait until kids trampolining has ended!
