Well I was up bright and early this morning and down to Poole parkrun for my first bit of serious tourism... and... cancelled! Race for Life or some such (darned runners!).
I wasn't the only one to turn up and run the route anyway... and apparently someone had driven from Leicester especially!
Anyhow, 3 laps of the boating lake brought me in at just about 6k, which was good enough for me. 
Oh no, what a shame. I was looking forward to your run report.
Oh no, how frustrating! At least you still got a run in n that’s what counts in the end 😊
Work out what your time was for 5k and log it as a Freedom Run.
It won't count towards your parkrun total or tourism stats but it will give you something to compare if you ever run an official parkrun there.
For future reference
I always follow the appropriate Facebook page the week before a planned tourist parkrun, in case of any announcements as it might be possible to find a nearby alternative.
That’s a shame. Make sure to check the event website for cancellations - also worth taking a look at the volunteer roster as if it’s all blank it is a clue that it is cancelled that week also.
Oh Pianism , I am so so sorry. I think we saw something about a race for life and muddy run when down there last week but didn’t take note of the date . I do hope you liked running around the park though and got to see the lovely cygnets and goslings by running at a slower pace. I missed them on parkrun but saw them the next day.
That’s a reminder for us all to check before tourism. Southsea is cancelled in 2 weeks time, just in case anyone is coming this way.
Oops! A bit disappointing but things go Pete Tong sometimes and you still got your 5k.
Well run anyway. What a shame though.
