Nasty

[Parkrun has had unprecedented
success in engaging the least
active and encouraging them to
exercise regularly," he said.
"Providing free weekly access
has been fundamental to this
and we are disappointed that
this opportunity is to be removed
for the residents of Little Stoke.]

If they hate runners that much, they could just have hired a sniper?

This hasn't been very well thought out though. If they stop runners running in the park, then more of them will choose to run down the middle of the ****ing road. At night. Wearing black ffs!
