I’ve finally hit the unofficial parkrun milestone of 300 parkruns so we travelled further afield to celebrate. Crossing 2 counties and 3 counties, Severn Bridge parkrun is probably one of the most unique locations to run a Saturday 5k.

    Thanks so much for watching 😊

    1. Congrats on number 300! I think I saw a video from the Welsh Runner when he and his wife ran the one you did. Fantastic time too… I am glad you got your sub 21 and I am not surprised at the timing. I am coming up next week on 20 years of road racing. Sadly no ParkRuns… How do they handle security when crossing borders? Is it an open border? Cool video and congrats to both of you!

    2. Well done on your 300th! I'm only at 119 but I don't parkrun as frequently as I did when I started running at the end of 2018.

      I live just over an hour's drive from Severn Bridge parkrun and have done it twice. It's where my parkrun PB of 21:09 happened. It's a great course, like you say. Fully paved, net-negative elevation gain, with a downhill second half which really helps to push it in the final km.

    3. Well done on the 300. I feel your pain spending Saturday with a man who has just run a 20:0x parkrun going on and on about it 😀

      Impressive stats and things clicking into place nicely for Newport.

      When we did Severn Bridge we ran on the other side of the bridge for some reason. Perhaps roadworks?
