We headed to Perry Hall parkrun<\/a> for my 50th event this year. Having to needing to be back for work I needed to look at my NENDY list. Plus it was also their 11th anniversary we headed there. They were marking this occasion by collecting for the food bank!<\/p>\n\n\n

Facilities at Perry Hall parkrun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Car parking is available through the main gates on Perry Avenue. There were some spaces right near the toilets – we kept driving round (a tiny bit further to the start) where a reasonable amount of spaces could be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also accessible on foot and by bus or train. <\/p>\n\n\n

Perry Hall parkrun Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first timers briefing did say follow the person in front – but make sure they are on the same lap as you! It is a complicated sounding course but really it felt really simple. Big thanks to the volunteers though holding up signs the whole time which made it clear where I needed to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perry Hall parkrun is a keep right course. In reality a lot of the time people kept left but that made sense because the finish moves off to the right. Plus honestly it didn\u2019t feel a problem, especially seeing as people didn\u2019t seem to really want to go through the puddles! However, I certainly found it fun running through them and even finished with mud on my face somehow!!<\/p>\n\n\n
