Oh well the people of Little Stoke will have to use of the other 500 or so free parkruns in the UK.

It is with great regret that we are announcing the closure of Little Stoke parkrun.
This is a disappointing outcome for everyone at parkrun, the dedicated team of volunteers who have worked so hard on the event since 2012, and of course the participants who have benefitted so much from a free, local, accessible 5k every Saturday morning in Little Stoke Park.

There's nothing stopping the people of Little Stoke from going for a (free) run in Little Stoke. It just won't need to be organised en masse by parkrun.

If I was a manager of a supermarket I would let them start at my stare and park for free.

You could guarantee people would by water/energy drinks etc and after might enven do some shopping.

the council then could stop runners running through the park.
