We headed to Uerdinger Stadtpark parkrun for the Saturday of the Bank holiday weekend. It was just myself, husband and youngest son. For me this would make my second parkrun in Germany but their first. This also qualified my husband to be a “World Tourist.” This also happened to be just before the Netherlands extra … Read more

A relatively new, beautiful event in the West Midlands saw us heading to Haughmond Hill parkrun.

Literally everyone … Read more

Also it would give me a fifth … Read more
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

Unfortunately last week I was bitten by a dog at parkrun. It was as we started the run and the dog was taking part in the parkrun. The owner had followed instructions about being on a hand held lead. Having checked there is no other guidance about where to stand at the start or during … Read more

This was a solo trip for me but there were plenty of other parkrunners there who made my trip much easier – many thanks to them all. Vingio Parkas, MK Čiurlionio g. 100, Vilnius, … Read more
