Moving House... VERY different running!

[Magellan]

So I'm moving on 3rd January. The place I'm moving to...

Is 3 miles from the nearest Parkrun and 6700 miles from the second nearest. So no Parkrun Tourism for me any more.

Has two Half Marathons a year, unless they are cancelled because of the wind.

Has a Marathon, a 100km Ultra and a 100mile Ultra, with a "most ....... marathon/ultra in the world" distinction (telling you that would give the game away).

Is at least 400 miles (but a couple of thousand miles further in practice due to no direct flights) from the next nearest Half Marathon.

Has fewer people in the largest town than there are pupils at the secondary school I'm currently working in, and if you add the rest of the people on the island you'd only be adding enough people to fill a primary school.

Any guesses?

Has your new local parkrun chalked up 77 events so far? That's quite a move if so!!!

[Magellan Marathon in reply to linda9389]

👏You've got it! Yes, it's a huge move, but I'm very excited.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Magellan]

It looks absolutely beautiful!!! Can't wait to read your future run reports 😊

You say this place you are going to is very remote and far from anywhere, could be the Falkland Islands, Tristan da Cunha, a remote island in the South Atlantic, ????

[Magellan Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Yup, one of those 👍.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Magellan]

I think The Falklands, Tristan is the home of penguins and a few humans, so I'll go for The Falkland Islands.

[Magellan Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Yup. I’m hoping to see penguins on my runs 🐧 and maybe whales 🐳 or seals 🦭 if I run on the coast.

It’s the world’s most southerly parkrun, marathon etc. My sister is already planning to visit just to collect the parkrun.

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Magellan]

I wish you the very best for your future, living, running and teaching in The Falklands. 👍

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

That’s wonderful Magellan - you’ll need to keep us supplied with plenty of photos! It sounds fascinating. 😍

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

Wow, can’t wait to see your photos of where you’ll be running
