Why dont you have a tour around West Yorkshire Andrew you may find that there are more faster courses around than Bradford, Leeds or Roundhay
I don't get the parkrun tourist thing, if I was away on holiday fine, but getting up early to drive to another Parkrun just doesn't work for me. I really enjoy Bradford, i like the course, atmosphere and seeing the friends I've made there. I'm also coaxing Pam into coming with me, there is NO WAY she'll tolerate getting up even earlier on a Saturday to drive to Harrogate or Dewsbury etc.
I plan to run at Bradford until I get my 100 shirt and also want to crack 22 minutes, and that is some way off at the moment.
Whilst we're on the subject here my view on the other Parkruns I've done;
Leeds - don't like the course, don't like the downhill start or the surface. Too crowded also. Nice people though.
Roundhay - Don't like the course, especially the downhill to the arena and the loop round to the car parlk. Also one of the organizers wound me up by being a total knob when i was there, so wouldn't visit again.
Bradband - Low key, good fun, nice course, didn't understand a word they said.
