Nonsuch in November

Saturday 19th November 09:00 at Nonsuch parkrun, Nonsuch Park, Cheam.

Nonsuch parkrun is a two lap course, roughly half of which is on pavement and the other half on grass. The course is flat although not quite as flat as Bushy; there are a couple of slight undulations on the grass bit (not like Lloyd or Roundshaw I promise).   

If you’re coming by car there are a couple of free car parks when you enter by the Cheam Village gate and a car park by London Road.  These are getting quite full nowadays though so I would recommend getting there by about 8:30.  Please also try and car share as this will certainly help parking.  It is then about 500m walk to the start by the Mansion House from either car park.  Please do not park in the car park by the Mansion House though as this is for patrons only.  Cheam train station is approximately 1km from the start.

Please arrive for a pre-mob match briefing and photograph at 08:45 (look out for the churchrunner sign) and there will be well earned food treats afterwards. 

The Good Shepherd Runners look forward to welcoming you to Nonsuch!

As to the National – I’ll come on to that in a bit, but that took in over 150 runners (including those of us at Riddlesdown) – so quite a big event. A special mention to the effort on the part of Wrangthorn Church Runners – not quite the win, but a big effort, for a small club!
