I have recently returned from a night away and a run, as a “Parkrun tourist”. Parkruns are weekly 5k races, which take place in more than 2,000 locations across more than 20 countries. Worldwide, over 3 million people have registered to take part in a Parkrun. I am one of those 3 million (albeit no doubt, one of the slowest ones!). In common with most others, I have a “home” parkrun (my default venue), but on occasions have ventured further afield, and engaged in, what is known as “Parkrun tourism”. This excursion was, to take part in Macclesfield Parkrun. To avoid embarrassment, I will refrain from disclosure of my finishing time. I guess that a finishing time is only a number, but in my case, it was a very big number! My excuse is, that it was a hilly and tough run. My local parkrun is described as “pleasantly undulating”. I would hesitate to use the word “pleasantly”, myself; but Macclesfield felt closer to “unpleasantly undulating”. If anyone is planning to do it,
