EOTR "parkrun"

[Charlie B]

So we will be heading out again on Saturday morning for a quick 5km for anyone who fancies a little run, but doesn't want to leave the site for a proper parkrun. We start just behind the wristband exchange, and head back towards the car park fields, which we run the perimeter of, then around the campervan field and the quiet/family camping field before finishing with a run back up the main entrance avenue - the 5km finish is almost exactly at the main entrance!

It's a nice run and we got a lot of encouragement last year. we won't be fast - I think we were around 27-28 minutes last year. There may be a couple of people doing a bit of a longer route afterwards, if anyone fancies more distance. Of course this is all subject to the excesses of Friday night!!

I'm not a runner but have forwarded the info to someone in our group who is.

Also, in case you're not aware of it, author and runner Adharanand Finn is doing a talk on the literature stage at some point over the weekend, and said something on twitter about "might even lead a run too" but I don't know if that's being followed up.

Thanks for forwarding Yoss!

 

I wasn't aware that Adharanand Finn was appearing - I'll definitely have to put that in the diary! Cheers!

I'm up for this. I do miss it when I can't parkrun. Is it a 9am start?

[Charlie B]

Yup! We will be just outside the ticket exchange tent - on the car park side. It shouldn't be too hard to spot us as

A) we will be up at 0900 and

B) We will be wearing running kit!

Be good to see you!

[Charlie B]

Great to meet some of you on Saturday! Thanks to a shout out by Adharanand at the end of his talk, we managed 25 runners!

Bump for 2021...

If you follow the same route this year you may need to prove your covid status to get back in

[Sean1234321]

Personally I don't have an issue with that if the route ends at the wristband exchange.

Surely keeping it entirely within the Covid perimeter would make sense. ?

Saw this thread from the last few years, anyone up for a short (and slow!) run at EOTR 2022?

I won’t be running this year, but the route we did in 2019 is here - https://www.strava.com/activities/2666627366

it’s a lovely route around the lanes and bridleways surrounding the site.

be very careful running on lanes with traffic.

anyone know if this will be taking place this year? I'm hoping to get a couple of runs in!
