In short: Fautless
In full: What can you say? Perfect. It's free, electronically timed, friendly and fun. The results on Parkrun.com are superb, being a bit of a geek I can spend hours tracking through previous time analysis etc. Now if only I could break that 20 minute barrier

In full: Fantastic way to bring in the weekend. A classy run organised by special people with running in their hearts. It's free for heavens sake!
You've got to get out there. The atomosphere is second to non and the coffee and hot chocolate at the Rambler's Rest after is superb.
There are great friends out there.....go on....go and meet them.

In short: Born free, Run free - Run for it.
In full: a superbly organised event, part of the UKTT [UK Time Trials]. 'Run' by a group of encouraging lovely people, who want no more than to see everyone do well & improve. It matters not what you standard is & it's all 'run for free'. You will meet club runners, as well as those who just like to turn up & try to better their own standard. A fabulous idea brought together by some very hard working people.
