  • The Cinder Track parkrun is the only parkrun I've not run in Yorkshire and Humberside, so we set off to check it out. I'd saved this parkrun to run on Halloween weekend due to Whitby's connection to Dracula. Turned out it was one of the two annual goth weekends which meant that a visit to Whitby was even more worthwhile as the Halloween fancy dress was out of this world!
    Although parkrun itself didn't have a huge amount of fancy dress the team was wonderful, the course was great, the Larpool viaduct was brilliant to run over, and we were even treated to a peacock and a steam train! It was the last weekend that the steam train is running until April as it stops for the winter, so we felt very fortunate to have seen it.
    The Cinder Track parkrun is an awesome run... I do love out-and-backs for the social element. Seeing all of the other runners as you pass each other is so fun. I would definitely recommend a visit to this parkrun but just remember your cash for the cafe!
    A great parkrunday with great people!
    Happy running,
    Nicola :)

    Brilliant outfits you and Poppy wore. Have to say you make of hell of a vampire Nicola. Was hoping we might have seen Count Alula aka Al, but alas I guess he was staked out somewhere 😂😂. As always great video Nicola. Until next time all the best to you and Poppy and take care.

      🤣🤣🤣 Count Alula 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah Al was in the lakes this weekend which was a shame. I'm not sure he's ever done parkrun in fancy dress 🤔 I'll rope him in next year though as he does love dressing up! 😃

I'm pretty sure I was still smiling at the end but there were tears! 😭

    A great video! We love Whitby but have never done the Cinder Track parkrun. There 2 Goth weekends every year - 2023's are 28-30 April and 27-29 October (always the Halloween weekend). If you're planning to stay over, do consider booking early!

    Wow. What an awesome ParkRun and another great adventure for you & Poppy. That viaduct is absolutely stunning - a fine piece of craftsmanship.
    You all looked amazing in your fancy dress. Can't believe the lack of fellow hallowe'en runners. I'd expect better from Whitby.
    I am assuming Poppy will have now done her 100th ParkRun venue. Congratulations to her. Absolutely amazing.
    Ps. No drones allowed at ParkRun? Didn't realise.

      @@NicolaRuns Nice one. Looking forward to watching the 100 video. It’s a great achievement.
      Frustratingly, I only managed to do day 1 of the GRIM 4 marathons due to transport issues.
      I did however run my own 26.2 miles with my twin brother on Saturday morning. Unofficial marathons do feel like ‘junk miles’ but never mind.

    If you ever need somewhere to stay in Whitby the youth hostel by the abbey is lovely. We stay there on a school trip every year - I think you get free entry to the abbey with your stay too, but we never have time to go. (And the microbrewery there is lovely too)
