parkrunworld is a stunning place, and we are absolutely blessed with a vast array of stunning locations to run in. It has become a running joke that I have twenty parkruns (or more!) in my top ten favourite parkruns. The time has come to make a choice and whittle it down to just ten. This video involved some difficult decision making but I finally made the decision you've all been waiting for... Here are the Top Ten parkruns in the UK and Ireland.

Have you visited these? Do you agree? What would make your Top Ten? What is your favourite beach parkrun? Let me know in the comments and if I haven't visited then I can add them to my 'Must Visit' list.

Of course it's the people that make parkrun, but I'd never make a 'Best parkrun Team' Top Ten for obvious reasons... Every parkrun team contains some incredible people. However, I do believe that some parkruns are objectively much more beautiful than others, and that's what I have hoped to bring you in this video. I hope you enjoy it.

Some useful links are below.

Happy running,

Nicola :)
