We headed to the beautiful Thorp Perrow Arboretum to check out Thorp Perrow parkrun. The run itself is on the private grounds of the Thorp Perrow Estate, and as such, then parkrun freedom runs are not possible here. So if you want to check out this beautiful course then you'll need to visit on an actual parkrunday.

The team at Thorp Perrow are very experienced having mostly come from Catterick parkrun. It was so great to chat to lots of the parkrun community that were without a parkrun when Catterick parkrun finished. Everyone loves a happy ending and it was so nice to her that these parkrunners absolutely love their new parkrun home. The team are so super friendly and their passion for this special parkrun shines through.

The run itself is a stunning one lapper on very varied terrain. With lots to see on route this parkrun is one to take your time on. Forget speed, look up, and enjoy the beauty on this incredible parkrun.

If you fancy making a day of it then you can pay for entry to the arboretum itself. We had a gorgeous wander around... Autumn is a really special time to visit!

Happy running,

Nicola :)
