There were two old dogs in the sitting room.
They both looked up when they heard a boom!
Out ran two sets of feet,
scurrying away for the heat.
Their mother, holding the splinters of a broom.

Pints & Parkruns: Jubilee, Spennymoor
If MC Escher created a parkrun, it might look a bit like Jubilee. Based in a compact – but surprisingly lovely – park in the small County Durham town of Spennymoor, it twists and turns its way up repeated hills. Although basic physics says it must come down again, somehow this route never feels like it gives runners a proper descent.
