Great Denham parkrun

About this parkrun

2 Lap parkrun around a newly provisioned Country Park which is Flat & Fast on a mixture of Clay & Tarmac paths - without a doubt road shoes.

The course runs around a country park set between the new houses of Great Denham and the River Great Ouse. 50/50 perfect tarmac / compacted surface it is flat and fast. It’s so nice they make you do two laps.

Fast flat. Good tarmac or hard trail surface. Plenty of parking a short walk away. A little tight for space at the start but soon runners spread out.

2 lap flat parkrun on tarmac or hardpack trail.
Park and ride car park is 3/4 mile walk through the estate - good for warm-up cool-down.

Very fast course when the wind is light. Lovely tarmac first half and compacted gravel second half. A quick time is very possible, slight drag to the finish of each lap which you may notice.

Lovely and flat... and it passes our front door TWICE. It has an ace core team too, which includes NightJar, SilverShadow, Binks, Arbster, MrsArbster (I don't know her Fetch handle), Essjay and me (among others).

Super flat course. Used to have a mini hill but now it's a cheeky downhill since they changed the run direction. 2 laps on paths so road shoes perfect. Parking and cafe are both a bit of a walk.

Good pb potential on 2 lap course. Park in the park and ride or at Kempston and walk over. Will become more scenic as the new country park develops. No cafe on site yet but one is planned.

Tarmac and compact sandstone paths slightly under 2 clockwise laps. It’s flat and fast.

Enjoyed this 2 large lapper. Cold and windy day, especially on the long back stretch. Super volunteers. Wot no Fetch or KatieB?

Ideal course for speed if the wind stays away. Two laps. First half tarmac, second half compacted grit. Nice to get back on the tarmac to start second lap! Two tight turns, but an ideal course for going like the clappers.

Narrow start, a bit lethal with buggies. In the middle of nowhere. Scenic, flat & very fast - one of the most competitive parkruns Ive ever been to. Good to have toilets on the cafe open pre race.

Has anyone mentioned the cafe!

Very fast course. Two laps on a mix of loose chipping cycle path and tarmac surface. One quite sharp corner but almost completely flat

UPDATE Definitely a fast course can be a bit windy

parking no longer a nightmare new car park and cafe.
