Bristol Park Run charge?

Well I think that's Park Run dealt with. What shall we debate next? Whatever it is I'm going to be on the "against" side, even better if it's something I know bugger all about

 

Pesky park run organisers!!!

 

People using campsites to repair their vehicles whilst getting free advice from other club members - surely someone is making money from it an hoodwinking the rest of us!

Strangely I've always returned worse off than I went (financially) having usually given my time to work on someone else's van - what an idiot!

 

People should excercise more.

People should drive less.

Close supermarket car parks to get people moving.

Use the supermarket car parks to stage mass runs.

Simple.

 

What would happen if you turned up early and set your picnic table up on the course that they usually use? Soon find out if they expected to have exclusive use of the park.
if the company is making money then it should pay for use, the company not the runners. If you wanted to use a park for a boot fair or an open air concert would the management company expect to get it for free?
if its totally non profit or goes to charity, free all round.

 

Go on- I dares you! Not sure about your comparisons.

 

actually that's made me chuckle. got visions of you set up a bit like a drinks station in a marathon and the runners piling by picking up slices of Victoria sponge and cucumber sandwiches. Now theres an idea!

 

limit the time that can be spent in the store so the experience would be more supermarket dash than "customer experience". I like it!

 

Im not cutting the crusts off 300 cucumber sandwiches and my best China teacups would get broken when they threw them in the hedge.

 

spoilsport!

 

We could set up the archery club and the mob with the guns to 'motivate' participants...

 

You'd have to run further than 5K to burn that load of snacks off.

 

That's the start! id quit after that personally.

 

They don't expect exclusive use and warn runners that other park users are present and to respect their use.

 

Walk your dog but why should you have exclusive rights to walk your dog over 300 other council tax payers usage. Why should walkers / runners have to run through other peoples dog sh!t?
So much selfishness and very little community sacrifice.

 

I'm going to head to a different park this coming Saturday and see how that goes

I think you need to go for a run and calm down dear

 

I never said I wanted exclusive rights. I wanted to be able to walk to the public park, on a public footpath, without having abuse shouted at me by a bunch of runners. Not a lot to ask for!

I'm sure other parkruns are much better organised and don't impact on other users in the same way. I am only talking about my experience of our local event.

 

No worries sweetie, I've walked the dog around the park.
