Anyone thought about starting a parkrun here. Would probably need to have a TC on board if you want it to be official.

Any thoughts?

It would be great if someone could set it up here, I'd definitely join as I try to participate when I go back to the UK.

Very popular in UK but is there a suitable location in Kyrenia?

Having not done one so no real idea, I would have thought possible venues may include the Lapta walkway and Alsancak Park, the latter being a bit more hilly!

New to the running malarkey but have done C25K as per the NHS site and in my 50's, I am a member at Mpower so if there is a bit of support from here I may speak to them and see if they would consider getting behind it.

Great idea, I'm a regular participant in the UK (ran my 86th yesterday) and would love to take part in NC on my hols. Only prob is it would clash with the Kuskor trip once a month!
