Parkrunners throughout the county continue to be left in the dark over whether they will be able to pull on their running shoes this summer.
Mulbarton parkrun has this week announced it will not be continuing when parkrun events restart in the UK.
But there is brighter news for those who normally attend Eaton Park for the runs after Norwich City Council gave it the green light.
And a decision will be made on May 21 on whether all events across the county can start on June 5.
A spokeswoman for parkrun UK said there will be no official announcements before that date.

That has led to intervention from Conservative MP David Davis, who Friday wrote to every MP of a constituency where a parkrun event has not yet been given the go ahead.
In a letter seen by Sportsmail, Davis writes: ‘A significant number of landowners (a mix of local authorities and some private landowners) are putting unacceptable and potentially unlawful barriers in the way of parkrun returning.
‘Whether this obstruction comes from a misunderstanding of the roadmap at a local level or a nervousness or reluctance to reopen until all restrictions are lifted, the inconsistency of decision making could prevent parkrun from returning at all.
