Dancing At Lunacy

parkrun #413 event #115 and not even regionnaire regained!

Access:

The park takes place at Riverside Park, with good links to bus and trains, and plenty of parking at various locations. We parked at the railway car park. Bear in mind it’s a good 10 minute walk from the railway station, over the fancy footbridge Trains arrive (from both directions) at around 9.30, so they are sadly not a great option.

Course:

It looks a bit confusing on the map, with a lot of back and forthing, but good markers and chalk markings make it easy to follow. Path is packed gravel (bit loose at parts), and no real hills.

Crowd:

It’s a fairly recent addition to the NI stable, but there were relatively small numbers (120) on my visit, their event number 4. I did raise my eyebrows at 2 dogs on a waistband (yeah, they were tailwalking, but rules are rules!), but a good course for wheelchairs, buggies and dogs.

Gear:

I was walking, and then heading back home on the train, so my windproof trousers. gym top and zip up regatta. Saucony trainers.

Afterwards:

I was a bit deflated to find that the marshalls were packing up their arrows etc before the last walkers had gone past, and also that at the finish line there was hardly anyone around. Not sure if there was a post parkrun meeting point, Mum and I had a coffee in Bob and Berts.
