I had been planning and looking forward to this parkrun for ages!
I knew I would be in Oslo this weekend and so I had selected Ekebergsletta early this year (having previously done Tøyen when I last visited), but it was only a couple of months ago that I realised it would be a good place to do my 50th different parkrun location (something that I have been working towards all year with a target of hitting it by the end of 2025).
I knew late November would be cold in Oslo but I was still fairly surprised to see a forecast of minus 5 degrees and snow for this weekend! In my experience, Nordic parkruns don’t tend to cancel for winter weather, but I was still a tiny bit nervous and checking the Facebook page constantly for about a fortnight beforehand.
We ran the two miles there and back to make it a nice seven-mile morning. A small event and very friendly as small events tend to be! It wasn’t wintry enough for the winter course so they were still on the summer one 😃
Loved this parkrun and delighted to celebrate my 50th location here.
