What an absolute privilege to be able to attend Zuiderpark Rotterdam parkrun Test Run. This was like a parkrun but without the credits. We all went thinking it would not be timed but Andy Airey managed to sort it that it was. Utilising the token generator on the Parkrace app – which worked really well. … Read more
We headed to Uerdinger Stadtpark parkrun for the Saturday of the Bank holiday weekend. It was just myself, husband and youngest son.

Literally everyone … Read more
After our son deferred his place for the London Marathon it left us with a free weekend!

We headed to the beautiful Cosmeston Lakes parkrun in Wales. Our son had previously suggested going there and he wasn’t wrong about how lovely it was. Having previously been bitten by a dog at parkrun I also liked that it was a dog prohibited course (apart from assistance dogs). Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, Lavernock Road, … Read more
