We were spending the weekend in the Lake District and I looked around for a parkrun that caught my eye. Morecambe Prom parkrun jumped out at me immediately. I love coastal runs so an out-and-back on the Promenade really appealed and when I looked at the run route then WOW!
The 5 km route passes so many points of interest including the famous statue of Eric Morecambe OBE. It also passes the Time and Tide Bell, the grade II* listed Midland Hotel, the site for The Eden Project North, not to mention the sculpture of the Lake District peaks on the horizon, three awesome playgrounds and countless incredible bird sculptures amongst other sculptures and landmarks.
The volunteers were incredible in these testing conditions, especially young Audra who blew me away with her energy, knowledge and enthusiasm. Poppy did ridiculously well too as it was hard to run with what felt like rain piercing your skin! The back of the out-and-back was some of the most challenging running I've ever done!
We then headed to the Lakes for a weekend of running in the mountains although the weather didn't improve much! I'll bring you a video of that soon!
Happy running,
Nicola :)
