So jealous of all you Parkrunners!

[stevo216]

Living in the Scottish Borders, the nearest Parkrun is actually in North West England in Carlisle which is 44 miles away, how I envy all you folks who can just pop to a local Parkrun every week. I will go soon but it will involve two hours driving overall not to mention time to find the place in an unknown area.

We lucky in edinburgh with lovely flat run right on coast so if you ever manage to get get up here give us a shout Not much good for a weekly run though!

[stevo216 Graduate in reply to Fitfor60]

Flat sounds good!

[mrsbluegsmith Graduate]

There are a few around Glasgow. Have you looked at the jogscotland website? They often have free jogs arranged

If you go on holiday, you might find a Parkrun near your destination (particularly if you're staying in the UK). Otherwise, it sounds like you should make contact with other runners and get a Parkrun set-up!

Hey, im in the borders too i go to Edinburgh parkrun, like fitfor60 says its a great course, very flat, which makes a change from all these hills around here and has lovely views too. I don't go very often as i work Sundays but usually make a day of it while in there.

Will try to get up to the Edinburgh one as well. The park in Hawick is where I do most of my running and it is lovely and flat.

Is there a running club near you? I am not sure how it all works but maybe if there is enough interest you could start a parkrun near you?

[stevo216 Graduate in reply to ReyC]

Too much like hard work! I could not commit myself to something like organising and running a parkrun.

Make it a weekend trip somewhere beautiful. Including your parkrun on one of the days. There are lots of cheap deals around. Good luck!

[kickibro Graduate]

[stevo216 Graduate in reply to kickibro]

Too lazy!

[Moosetgoose Graduate]

what area in the borders is everyone from (if you dont mind saying)?? Im from there too, just outside Lauder

[stevo216 Graduate in reply to Moosetgoose]

I am in Hawick, hence Carlisle closer for me. You are not too far from edin. Pity there was not one somewhere like Gala in central borders.
