    Oi you - if it isnt THAT far how come you've never done the Leeds Parkrun :p

    Well leeds from my house is about 65miles, so its a little far to travel for a weekly fun run, but if i was passing down the M62, it could be worth popping in for.

    Though, at £27 its a little expensive for the 10k side of things.

    Thats nearly entry for 2 to alton towers.

    Alright far enough - although they are doing a Manchester parkrun from 20th - me and Rich are going to do that so if thats closer no excuses ;)

    I agree the entry is steep but its isntead of making you raise money I presume (although my half the same day was £13 :D)

    I'll be there from mid afternoon on Saturday Numpty. Not a clue how to get from station to hotel though. With my sense of direction I might have to sit and wait for the others to arrive :D
