Parkrun age participation

As I am part of the volunteer team for a new Parkrun in Conwy ( www.parkrun.org.uk/conwy/ )I took more than a passing interest in the latest newsletter.  There was an interesting graph showing participation based on age:

I found this shape interesting and fact that numbers of both men and women tailed off so quickly in the 50s and 60s.  More incentive to keep going then.

Parkrun - doing a recce for a possible route in Deganwy, North Wales

Today was meant to be a rest day before doing an 11k Trail Race on Sunday but all Parkrun recces have to be done at 9am on a Saturday i.e. the normal time for a Parkrun.  So this morning we set off for Deganwy 30 minutes away to park in the RSPB car park near the intended start.  The route was wonderful being mainly flat and on even trails with the most wonderful views of the Carneddau hills, Conwy Castle and the Conwy Estuary out to sea.  I think this run when it gets off the ground will be a huge success. Below is a possible route but please remember this probably will change when other options are considered and the course is accurately measured.

I took another Autographer time lapse video too.
