About this parkrun
2 laps, flat, about 50/50 tarmac to grass/trail. Biggest issue is the numbers. Parking non-existent, short walk from northern line.iRicey 21st Jan 2019
Two laps of around the inner part of Clapham Common. Very busy and very dusty on the non-tarmac sections. Bandstand cafe a good spot for a coffee afterwards

Did this on marathon day and there were over 900 runners - wow! A flat route with mainly on trail paths. Not far from Clapham South Tube station. My friend was RD'ing which came as a nice surprise too.

Two lap course with a mixture of trail, grass, path.
Pancake flat. Only downside is the second lap, when catching up on the Parkrunners still on their first lap, pathway(s) are narrow. Other than that a very warm, friendly reception from their crew

Very busy. Website says start is not at the bag drop but that wasn't the case today. Well marshalled with enthusiastic people. Short walk from tube. Pancake flat

Relaxed and friendly, but 1,039 people! Entire first half mile congested/10:30-11:00 minute mile pace. Also my official result was recorded as almost a minute slower than I ran, so I guess things got out of sync with tokens. Great volunteers + fun.

Very flat, friendly park run with lots of people. Became extremely muddy and quite slippery in the downpour I ran it in

2 laps flat on trail and tarmac with a little grass at the start. Very busy but chatty run among mostly tree lined paths. Cafe a short walk away, and loos somewhere but not nearby. Clapham common South tube was best to get there.
