We headed over to Manchester to check out Alexandra parkrun. A fast, flat, two-lapper with an impressive history! The parkrun itself was super friendly and the curved lines within the park have led to a wonderful course design. It was beautiful running this parkrun in Autumn with a carpet of stunning leaves.

The team couldn't have been nicer and it was great to token sort with them over our second breakfast! If you haven't visited here yet then it's a PB course, so head over and have a blast round their awesome course.

Huge thanks to the team for being so very welcoming. I absolutely loved this parkrun adventure.
