Thanks for attending parkrun Battersea Hayden. I'm glad you had a good fun run. It was nice to see myself in the video but we do work hard to try and make sure that it's the best parkrun for everybody who attends to enjoy which is supported by so many volunteers who make it possible & happen. Hope to see you again soon.

[@Runningwithhayden]

@@David-it2nt Thank you, much appreciated mate 👍

[@SharaRuns]

Definitely one to try 👍🏻

[@Runningwithhayden]

Yeah defo, it’s a flat and fast one just a little busy 👍

[@Bwebber99]

Thanks for the video its on my to run list in 2026 it seems like the place to go once you run Bushy

[@Runningwithhayden]

They are actually very similar in busyness, Battersea gets the nod on speed though and bushy on the scenery

It's brilliant with the extremely flat course, wide and gentle turns, and all on tarmac as you said. If only the route was a single lap, it would be perfect.

[@Runningwithhayden]

Absolutely spot on, although the two laps is quite good for a marker in your head when on pace 👍

[@tchelsea5970]

Doing two laps is what's needed to get your heart rate up & get to your stride 😂😂 you got this and I know you can do it 👍🏾

Wow - another one for the Team Ellis Bucket List. We just don’t get big numbers like that in Australia at parkrun.

It’s incredible to see and it all disappears like nothing was there in blue 90 minutes later
