parkrun are adding fancy dress and cakes to Saturday's regular Easteligh parkrun on 4th June as a Run Free event.
parkrun is a free to enter timed 5K event that takes place at 9am every Saturday morning at venues all over the country. Eastleigh's takes place at Lakeside Country Park (off Wide Lane) - get tehre about 10 minutes beforehand so you have time to park. It is 2 laps, traffic free, mostly on gravel tracks plus a little grass. Pauline, Karen and Claire D are all fans!
Reasons to love parkrun
1. It is free to run, but you must register beforehand (also free) online and print out a barcode to take with you. Don't forget that we are now Southampton Running Sisters.
2. You'll be told how fast you ran via email. You hand your barcode to a volunteer to scan just after you've finished running. The email normally arrives that afternoon.
3. You can see how you are progressing as you can log into your account and compare your times week to week.
4. The organisers, volunteers and runners are all lovely, friendly people - and very supportive of newbies.
5. It is all over by mid morning, leaving you the rest of the weekend to fel smug!
