Parkrun Chelmsford + post event coffee
1 people attending
29 places left
Join Outdoorlads for a morning run (or walk) and post event coffee (and maybe cake) in Chelmsford City Centre.
This 5km course is a one-lap course taking you through the three main parks in Chelmsford. You will follow established tarmac foot and cycle paths running by the River Can to Admirals Park. After a loop around Admirals Park you return to Central Park to finish. The course is 70% tarmac and 30% grass.
The important bit... This is about personal goals. You run/walk at your own pace, don't be scared that you may be slower than other people. Some walk, some run, some job, some do a combination of all 3.
Wheelchair users - i've googled this on the parkrun website and it says the following: https://support.parkrun.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003630949-Can-I-parkru…
To take part in a Parkrun and get your official time, you will need to have registered to receive your all important barcode. You will need to bring a hardcopy of this barcode with you.. Parkrun events are run nationwide and indeed internationally, so once you're signed up you can attend anywhere and if this becomes popular we may even try other Parkruns in the area.
The official start of the run is 9am and we will meet at 8:40 for a quick catch up and attend the run briefing.
You may also wish to sign up to the Strava OutdoorLads running club: https://www.strava.com/clubs/439735
