My local parkrun starts on a narrow path and we have to keep to the left as the park is quite busy and there's also a bench on the right after about 100 metres (impossible to see through the throng of people) - there's probably space for 2, possibly 3 abreast. There are 400 runners. It's a total free for all and loads of genuinely slow (as in, I pass them cos they're so slow) people always stand near the front and the first few minutes are spent trying to dodge round people. It's really putting me off that particular parkrun, actually, which is a shame as it's really close to home :(
Also I will never forgive the organisers for packing up the finishing chute while my mum was still running :(
GRIPE OVER.
