Yeah the main problem is that not enough parkruns have been given the go-ahead. And if not enough get the go-ahead then the ones that do will just be swamped, so they can't just start off with a small subset of them, it's got to be 80%+ of them or nothing.
I'm guessing many of the landowners are just being over cautious in spite of the considerable evidence that is being presented by parkrun that it is very safe.
I like parkrun but I'll probably volunteer for the first couple of my local one, just to see how it pans out. (I'm not the main target audience anyway as I don't struggle for motivation to run a 5k. I'm more likely to run 5k to volunteer and then run 5k home.)
