You are my hero, I have done 2! Loved them but still find the course challenging. Definitely saving myself for next Saturday!! Julie

Corby in Northamptonshire. Fantastic people, 2/3 on paths but rest on grass plus small wood. Reasonably flat but a couple of small hilly sections. Some complete in 20 minutes but my best time so far is 34 which is good for a new runner and an old gel of 52!

Congratulations !

I have yet to do one park run. I am working up to it though.

[givman in reply to harveyemm]

yes they are a great way of getting and keeping fit and they cater for all abilities

[JoolieB1 Graduate in reply to harveyemm]

If u want to go as a volunteer before running, that makes it much less frightening. Great atmosphere though

206! That's brilliant 😀

I only volunteered at my first last weekend and I can see how addictive it could become

[givman]

yes it is !! I look forward to Saturday mornings hardest thing is getting out of bed!
