Saturdays – ParkRun Day

by webmaster • May 7, 2013 • 0 Comments

Parkruns happen all over the place but our nearest one currently is at Wythenshaw (though some Lymm Runners join the fun at Pennington Flash).

Organised entirely by volunteers, a Parkrun is basically a time trial; you register online and get a barcode; you turn up at the park with your barcode and run a measured 5K route. You run with loads of others. They are simple (and free!) to enter, and open to all – whatever your level of fitness.

Parkruns are scheduled every Saturday but next Saturday (May 11th) is Beginners Day at Wythenshaw!

Check out the links below and see if it appeals.
