Norwich parkrun Norwich parkrun, in Norfolk, is one of (currently) five parkruns in and around Norwich. Norwich parkrun was the first of the five, and is also the most centrally located to the city (only a 10-minute drive away, if you fancy visiting after parkrun). The course page states that there is limited parking at…
Haverfordwest parkrun As of February 2018, Haverfordwest is the most westerly of parkruns in Wales. It’s still quite a new parkrun and the numbers seem to have levelled out to fewer than 60 each week, so it had a very friendly vibe when we went. Based at Haverfordwest Racecourse, the start and finish is…
Bexley parkrun A long-established parkrun based in Bexleyheath, Kent, though classed as Greater London on the parkrun site. The course is two anti-clockwise laps of Danson Park, running around the lake and past the Grade I listed Danson House – though the house is only open to the public on Sundays. The course page suggests…
Kings Lynn parkrun A really nice, flat parkrun around The Walks park in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. The start line is a few minutes’ walk from Kings Lynn train station and there is also free parking on surrounding roads. The postcode provided (PE30 5QX) takes you to Goodwins Road, which is where we parked, and it’s…
Letchworth parkrun – Mud, Mud, Mud and, errr, Mud. Quite pretty though.
March parkrun March parkrun in based near Peterborough in Cambridgeshire and takes in four clockwise laps of West End Park. The provided postcode (PE15 9LT) takes you directly to the car park and parking was easy as there was a second car park if the first was full. The leisure centre/library car park was free,…
In the recent Suunto SPARTAN Trainer review, we looked at the first 5, ‘dressy’ variants. Suunto has reverted back to its outdoor heritage with 3 new OUTDOOR variants on the SPARTAN TRAINER. The SPARTAN Trainer is a great entry-level triathlon watch. Does this new OUTDOORs version do the same for all you adventurous types? This…
A Hertfordshire-based parkrun in Hemel Hempstead. There is a large, free car park at Gadebridge Park which is very easy to find, just off the A4146 Leighton Buzzard Road. We used ‘Gadebridge Park’ in our SatNav as the provided postcode (HP1 3AQ) wanted to take us to the High Street. There are plenty of…
A north London-based parkrun taking in three anticlockwise laps of Pymmes Park. The postcode provided (N18 2UG) takes you directly to Victoria Road alongside the park and that’s the side where the course starts and end. Parking was free on Victoria Road and we didn’t struggle to find a space. Although there are toilet facilities…
This romantically-named parkrun is based in Valentines Park in Ilford, East London. There are two paid car parks and the closest one to the start line is in the Cranbook Road entrance to the park. The postcode provided (IG1 4UA) took us straight there and you have to actually drive into the park to access…
A very flat course around Gunpowder Park, on the Essex/Middlesex border, just inside the M25. The postcode provided (EN9 3GP) takes you directly to the car park and it is very easy to find. The car park holds about 100 cars, which seemed plenty for parkrun, and is free for up to one hour but…
Eden Project parkrun A spectacular run around the Eden Project parkrun in Cornwall. There are only two UK mainland-based parkruns that are farther south-west than this (as of Nov 2017), so it’s probably quite a mission for most people in the UK, but it’s so unusual that it’s definitely worth it. Using the postcode…
