CONWY PARKRUN COULD SOON BE BACK ON TRACK

Conwy parkrun could soon be back on track. 

 

North Wales athletics official and popular event organiser John Hatton, who is also the MC at the Conwy parkrun, enjoyed a unique site visit to view the ongoing construction work to the riverside path from the RSPB Nature Reserve to the Bridge, and understands that it may soon re-open to the public!

The parkrun was suspended earlier this year to help accommodate essential work on a new cycle track towards Betws-y-Coed which covers a section of their course.
He has now been advised by a construction manager that it should all be tarmacked, fenced, and finished in time for the Deganwy Dash at the end of May, and currently it all seems to be slightly ahead of schedule.


John confirmed: "I had full site visit this morning of the pathway. It looks really good. It should be ready for the Dash, which is great news. Some already has tarmac, and they are also fitting fencing at the moment.

"There will be short light poles right to the bridge, at night they detect movement when you go by them which switches them on."

John took some exclusive photos from his inspection, and it now looks like it's just the required permissions from the various landowners that's needed before any re-start of this popular event can be considered and hopefully verified.
