Hi

Well I actually did the Park Run last week, my daughter in law and grandaughter came with me too. I was so miffed because I ran two laps thinking I'd finally got to 5K only to realise that it was 4.8K ... Never mind, next time. But I was chuffed to do it and once I get over my cold I'll be back.

That is very unusual that park run is mapped out wrong, they are very strict about it being an official 5km, what does there website say about that course, I really would be surprised if it was out, well done for getting there and doing it though. Rfc x

I have found out that they have a specific start and finish point, over lapping at the end to make it to 5K. I began my run before they had set this up, so my fault for being an early bird lol

Oh I understand, our park run starts just off from the main route to add in that extra bit too, I once did a fun run that came in short, I was going to get a Pb for 5km so I just kept going around in cycles at the end untill I got it, I must of looked like a right nutter 😂😂😂.
