This was a trip down memory lane for me returning to my home town for the inaugural Oldham parkrun. On a glorious Saturday morning twenty eight runners completed the course. Several others started but didn’t make it round all three and a bit laps.

The event takes place in Alexandra Park which was given a makeover in 2004. It now boasts a boating lake and café and is a beautiful open space. The event is having teething troubles, but I would recommend a trip across the Pennines when it gets going again.
Sounds like a nice visit home Liz. Glad you could go and try it.
