The Town That Built Its Own Parkrun // Millfield parkrun

[@RunSensible]

I love your Parkrun videos and John's "interesting stories". Well done guys.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks for watching Neil

[@Runnerrwe]

Nice place and great investment by the town. It looked like sand but I guess that is clay. I like the black kits you both are wearing. Black is my favorite color.

[@tworunningbrooms]

We had the tops made up by a local sports store. It's like a firm clay with some hardcore in. Thanks for watching.

Great video, thanks for visiting!!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks for hosting Colin. A real showcase for the town.

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Thats so cool. Great that people had the desire to get it done and setup 👍

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks for watching, Stu.

[@raleyadventures]

That looked like a great parkrun, we really need to go on a few more tourist visits, thanks for the awesome video as always 😊😊

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks you two.

The path looked a little narrow but it’s only usually a problem at that start of runs. We parked outside the wine shop when we visited and the only other thing I recall were the corn flies being attracted to my yellow running top 😂

I think the surgery car park is available most weeks except when there is Saturday morning surgery.

We believe that Torvean was primarily built for parkrun. Work on the road by the Caledonian Canal meant that the golf course lost a hole and the land was repurposed by laying a path around the grass and pond. Formerly the Inverness parkrun, it moved 1km down the road and was renamed. It even has a permanent podium for the RD to make announcements etc.

[@tworunningbrooms]

That's really interesting thanks. I never knew that.

[@MrCol104]

Cheers Dawn & John. Think it’s awesome the community got together to make this event happen. Something really positive. Hope your 20 miler went ok. Ps. ParkRuns with field in the name? I guessed 12 but couldn’t actually name any. 😆

[@tworunningbrooms]

The 20 went fine, thanks. There's more to come. 🙂

[@SwiftTrailsTV]

02:00 if my eyes aren't mistaken isn't that the 5 tunnels at the Greenway, Radstock your running along?

[@tworunningbrooms]

You are correct. That clip is taken from the Five Arches parkrun which passes through them four times. We did a video on that run back in October.

[@SwiftTrailsTV]

@@tworunningbrooms I live a stone's throw from those arches (800m as the crow flies) and run under them all the time. But I had no idea there was a parkrun here! I'm a middle-distance track runner which is probably why. But I am planning to record some virtual parkrun's for my channel. I'll check out the video, thanks.

Hi I was also running that day at milfield parkrun

[@tworunningbrooms]

Hope you had a good experience

[@TimGrose]

Millom is another where they now run parkrun on a purpose built track. As a result it went from being one of the slowest (due to being a muddy/wet field for most of the year) to much faster.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes, I remember that. Must pay a visit.

[@RMSM0204]

Manor Field, Whittlesey is my local parkrun. I’m having a guess at 17 with the word ‘field’ in their title.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes that's one of... (more than 17) 😉

[@middleagedrunningman]

In THiS video I can really tell you are teachers!!😂😂

[@tworunningbrooms]

The poise. The charm. The air of natural erudition...

[@7SSmith7]

Guess 33.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Your guess was very good. I made it 32 on the UK parkrun site.

[@7SSmith7]

@@tworunningbrooms ah, soooo close! Maybe I’ll start another to make 33!
