Cross Country Cirencester Park fell on a Saturday which meant we did it after Abingdon parkrun. This was the second of our races in the Gloucestershire League. In fact to not break my longest tourist streak it meant we only just ended up arriving in time for seeing the first race of the day. This … Read more
Trying to keep my longest tourist streak going is getting increasingly more difficult with other commitments. Heading to Abingdon parkrun as there was the Gloucestershire League Cross Country Cirencester later on. However, the nearest parkrun was already in the streak. However, going to Abingdon parkrun instead possibly helped with not being hit with road closures! … Read more
My first race in the Gloucestershire League was Cross Country Stroud. Having previously run at Cross Country Bath but never got there early enough to support the young athletes I coach before. Distances for Cross Country Stroud The distance run for Cross Country Stroud depends on the group: Parking and Facilities for Cross Country Stroud … Read more

Finally we were able to visit Queensway parkrun. A lot of Saturdays I have had work so didn’t have time to travel there. Plus I wanted to wait until at least event 19 – and this was 23. Obviously this was for another Q to help complete my third parkrun alphabet, as well as going … Read more

There’s only 3 Junior parkrun locations in Cornwall and we had already helped at Par Track Junior parkrun . Read about Junior parkrun on my previous post. Bodmin Junior parkrun, Hillside Park, Scarlett’s Well Road, … Read more
Some events are really must-do locations and Land’s End parkrun was one of them. So when I found a cheap Sun Holiday deal camp just over half an hour away it seemed the right time to get it ticked off my parkrun Bucket list! Obviously as this is the last parkrun in the UK it … Read more

It was a shame that this took my re-index up to 21, as it was also parkrun’s 22nd birthday. Plus I … Read more
