We are going to elveden centerparcs soon and want to do the parkrun on the Saturday, but there are 2 nearby, and we don't know which one to go for. I'm not fast, but both seem to have runners my pace, so which is the nicest? (And the least complicated route! )

Hi,

While I'm a fair way off my first parkrun I am local & I think the Brandon (Branston maybe a typo?) one looks best. The country park is nice & the route looks like a straight forward loop. I've looked at the route for the Thetford one before & it looks complicated, although I'm sure the route is well marshalled. I know the Thetford one attracts quite a few runners now so depends on how you feel about crowds?

All the best,

Lee

Thank you, yes it was a typo. We looked at the courses, and we thought the Brandon one looked better too, but you never really know I guess til you try them. Thanks for the reply

From a 'place to visit' point of view the country park is nice. If I ever get to a point where I'm happy running that'll be the one I try first I think.
