There are 60 UK parkruns with valid anagrams (not including exact matches such as READING-READING). Number of anagrams in brackets.

)
If Jono really wants, I can run an analysis of the effect of the dictionary cull on parkrun anagrams

Orangefield is a lovely scramble - good one for when 10 letter cons become too easy and someone moves on to 11
