I’m a parkrun tourist so I look for every opportunity to run at ones I haven’t done before. I’ve done over 60 different ones including all the ones in the West Mids.

It’s a big thing every Saturday morning here in Maldon.

Looks like a terrific event in a lovely set around the promenade and the woods. Well organised too.

Not my thing though as my running days are over.

Not everyone runs

lots walk (and are just as welcome) and many volunteer to help with it.

I used to, until knee issues stopped me running about 5 years ago

I ought to start again

I ran most of the local ones, in turn, with about 120 runs recorded

That said, I went to one of the locals, just 'pre-Covid', & off the back of just a couple of runs round the block, managed a '26' with no training (& fat!!)

PB is about 21:01

I’ve had to complain about our local parkrun taking over a public park and its paths. So much so parents with prams were forced to push the prams over muddy areas because the parkrun would not make space on the path. Basically the park is unusable by others when the parkrun is in progress.

I’m all for everyone utilising a public space but not to the detriment of others.

Yeah it sounds like a lot but there are some people who have done well over 500/600 different ones. Some of them never ever repeat them! I love to tour but I also love the familiarity of my local events.

Well done on your 12. Hopefully that means you’ve got lots of options nearby. I have to travel quite far for new ones now. Haven’t done any in your neck of the woods yet.
