How fast can I finish at DURHAM PARKRUN? - Al Pepper Runs

In the last of this little mini series, I popped across to the beautiful city of Durham for a Saturday morning parkrun that was long overdue!
Enjoy a rare A to B route... no laps and a winding cross country style route around sports fields finishing with a fast dash along the riverside.

Haha. Loved the young lad's face at the end. He didn't look happy about not taking you on the line.

[@AlPepperRuns]

A bit of friendly competition is good for you! I’m sure he didn’t mind! He had a great finish didn’t he!

[@those2runners]

Great video. We’ve done it multiple times - it’s Chris’s favourite course (and has some fab coffee stops for afterwards 🙌🏻) 😊 got to love a sprint finish - tailor made for it that course!

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks guys! It’s a really fun event! One that I’ll try and get back to sooner rather than later for sure.

Very much like Tees Barrage Park Run in Stockton before it finished. Sort of out and back over the inifity bridge which had a lot of bounce on it. Shame its gone.

[@AlPepperRuns]

I didn’t get chance to run there but heard good things about it! Like you say, shame they stopped doing it.

[@nicmarlow6388]

WAYNE!!! Of course you saw him! 🤣 lovely vid though Al, appreciate you taking us on your journey each time. And that poor lad you pipped to the finish, I think his initial thought was "i'm not having some guy with a camera vlogging beat me".... errrr, sorry sonny-jim..! 😆

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, I genuinely didn’t know that Wayne would be there! I try to keep a bit of a finish in the bag should I need it… this week, I guess I found an extra boost in there!

It's no wonder Elvet Striders (Best Running Club in the Northeast) excel at XC

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha! I’ve heard a few clubs claim to be the best in the North East and… I believe every one of them!

Classic video and at a venue on my list for next month (think im Northallerton this weekend). Good luck for the half this week and enjoy it, Northumberland coast and Bamburgh especially is beautiful on a nice day.

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks mate! Enjoy Northallerton! Yeah, I’m hoping for a great weekend’s running. Fingers crossed for mild weather, no wind and some of the best coastline England has to offer!

[@DeeJay_78]

Thanx for more great content Al. Love a sprint finish!! This one is high on my to do list for the spring defo! Good running sir. RESPECT

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks mate! It was a lovely course so deserving of a bit of effort with my finish! Will be even nicer in spring / summer too.

[@paulsummerly8203]

[@AlPepperRuns]

Cheers Paul! It was a lot of fun for sure, the guys were a great bunch too. I’ll try and go back sooner rather than later.

[@belwynne1386]

Enjoyed the park run series.

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thank you! There’ll still be parkrun videos but generally, I’m back to ‘proper’ races from this weekend onwards!

[@just_jono]

What a finish mate!!! 👏

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks Jono! I do enjoy a bit of a quick finish but this one was more than I asked for!

[@IanMcalpine-ep9fc]

Nice one Al. I’ve ran quite a few Saturn Running races around there but never a park run. Nice route 👊🏻

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks Ian! I did the Saturn Run a few years back. Really enjoyed it! Should do it again actually…. heads to Google to see when it’s next on.

[@IanMcalpine-ep9fc]

@@AlPepperRuns I’ll probably do a couple this year again. Think there’s one in august and I’ll be doing the remembrance one again in November, always a great medal 🥇

[@Thomas-Mould]

Always a good video as usual, see you june at carlisle lol, what time you going for doing the wall?

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks Tom! No idea re. time. Plan is just to get round! I’ll give it a good go but I don’t want to rush when the scenery is that beautiful! You?

[@Thomas-Mould]

@AlPepperRuns just want to make it to the finish lol , but under 20 would be nice 😆

[@yourfav_caitlin]

First 💪🏽 Well done Ali, another great video 💪🏽👍🏽

[@AlPepperRuns]

Woop woop! Thanks Caitlin!

[@robwilks4816]

It's the Pepper Army or is pepperami ??

[@AlPepperRuns]

Ha, very nice! I mentioned this to friends a while back who thought it would make great merch but I wasn’t sure whether it might be a bit similar to other channels!
