About this parkrun
Interesting course with an uphill start before descending to the bottom of the infamous ZigZag hill, once you've climbed that the hard work is done & you can enjoy the remaining gently undulating trail paths to the finishwAckie Racer 7th Sep 2019
Great trail route on a former colliery site with a brilliant zigzag climb at about the 1km mark, after which you get great views especially to the south, and the added bonus that the route is flat then undulating from then on until the finish.

Wonderful 1 lap run with a little loop near the end. Lovely zigzag climb to top of hill with stunning views once you reach the top. Undulating run on decent paths. Friendly team, good cafe, and plenty of parking.

The zig zag hills are tough! Its a lovely course though. Quite small event, excellent bacon butties and cake after in the football club house. Lots of parking, near the start

I really enjoyed this one with the zig zag hill. Small, friendly but tough! Free parking, toilets available before the run. Cafe is cash only and order you bacon sandwich before the run (cakes and drinks also available).

I enjoyed this one - lovely sunny morning made the zig zag climb not as bad as it might have been (although I did walk most of it!) Nice small parkrun and good trail experience for someone who doesn't do trails!
