For some reason it's taken me over a decade to realise that there's a load of parkruns around Manchester that are only an hour from my house?! This was a LONG overdue visit to the wonderful South Manchester parkrun.
Visiting in the summer meant no Ditch of Doom, just a flat, fast two lapper around the gorgeous Platt Fields Park. With the cherry blossom in bloom and blue skies then we really saw this parkrun in its best light.
I highly recommend a visit here, there's so many reasons why but fairly close to the top of my list has to be MUD Kitchen! The post parkrun breakfast was out of this world!
Huge thanks to ED Alex and the whole volunteer team here for making us feel so very welcome!

Apologies if there are loads of adverts in this! I don't have a laptop with me so I'm having to let YouTube auto-generate ads... I really hope there's not too many of them!
