The Grand Canal Way parkrun is located in Tullamore. As you might guess, it is an out-and-back along the canal. You go out for 1,500 metres, the back, then out again for a shorter 1,000 section. Nice and flat, as you can imagine.
It was cool and rainy the whole thing. Everyone was very friendly and kept apologising for the weather. They didn’t seem to believe me that this was my ideal running weather. Thank you to everyone who made me feel welcome.
I didn’t realise it at the time, but this was my 50th parkrun in Ireland. Unless you ask the DUP, you insist I have only done 47.
