New Parkrun on Saturday

A new local Parkrun (about 45 minutes drive from me) is having it's inaugural meeting on Saturday. It looks like it will be interesting - 1800 feet above sea level and mostly unsealed surface with some hills to a total of 250 feet ascent during the run . I haven't yet bought a pair of trail shoes - but I do have a pair of joggers which would be suitable for a soft surface. Looking forward to it . They even have hot showers at the venue and they will go to a local coffee shop/restaurant afterwards for breakfast. Don't know how that will turn out because I suspect there will be a big roll up to this one.
