RESCHEDULED: Demesnes Parkrun Barnard Castle
3 people attending
7 places left
Join OutdoorLads for a morning run (or walk) in Barnard Castle County Durham ahead of a short leisure walk on the same day,
The course is 5000m (5k) long.
The important bit... This is about personal goals. You run/walk at your own pace, don't be scared that you may be slower than other people. Some walk, some run, some jog, some do a combination of all three.
To take part in a Parkrun and get your official time, you will need to have registered to receive your all important barcode. You will need to bring a hardcopy of this barcode with you. Parkrun events are run nationwide and indeed internationally, so once you're signed up you can attend anywhere and if this becomes popular we may even try other Parkruns in the area.
The official start of the run is 09.00 and we will meet a little before that for a quick catch up and attend the run briefing.
If you want to join the OutdoorLads' national group on the Parkrun website, on your Parkrun account select Profile, then groups and type "Outdoorlads (UK)" and click the Join button.
