Is that an official Parkun? That would mean Reading (and the suburbs have 5 now):

Prospect Park
Reading Park run (going from TVP)
Woodley
Dinton Pastures
and now Green Park

The test run didn't start there though, the marker is in the wrong place, it started behind 100 Brook Drive. That marker point looks like it's at the 2km point.

Why would you walk from the town centre?

Well, I have. Back in the day, my brother and I used to cycle (tandem) from Didcot to Elm Park.

Bill Oddie once stood in the centre circle at the Madejski with a microphone in his hand and declared that he's a Manchester United supporter. He did say that Reading were his second favourite team (primarily because of the song we occasionally sing about him and his beard)
