Liz Wordsworth (33:38) and Chris Wordsworth (35:25) visited Lanhydrock parkrun in Cornwall on a National Trust estate with a beautiful but famously challenging trail route through woodland and along the River Fowey.
This week’s International parkrunners were in very contrasting scenery. Grace Rowland (23:41) was first female at Akrotiri parkrun in Cyprus on a course that winds through orange groves and olive trees while Alex Miller (25:27) was 5th out of 15 participants at Holbæk Fælled parkrun along a dramatic fjord shoreline in Denmark. Alex said, ‘2nd Danish parkrun for me. Possibly also fastest parkrun of the year. Nice course but not many runners. Much flatter than last weekend’s course. Mixture of tarmac and gravel with slight undulations.’
