Guildford parkrun

About this parkrun

Two lap undulating course through and around an actual park. Likely muddy and wet in sections where it doesn't follow the made paths. Took over from the undersubscribed Guildford time trial.

Mostly grass, with some tarmac. The grassy bits can get a bit muddy at times. There's a bit of a hill which you go up twice. I've only been a couple of times and had no problems, but apparently there are a few locals that get a bit huffy.

Big event, two laps around the park, half grass half tarmac paths.

2 laps mostly on grass and a bit of tarmac, quite a tough undulating course that can be muddy in winter. Parking and cafe at the nearby Spectrum centre

I hate this parkrun, it’s hilly but all the hills are up! Bit boring too. Easy parking, loos are tricky to find (they’re behind the building)

Surprisingly difficult to find for tourism. No signage or Park-runners at either of the 2 recommended car parks at Guildford Lido & College. Tough undulating course. Great Marshalls & support.

2 laps - the first third of each lap on grass the rest on path. Good parking opposite at the spectrum. Toilets are behind start point.

Two laps of undulating half track, half grassy fun in Guildford's Stoke Park with a nice downhill to the finish. Superfriendly marshals along the course. Plenty of free parking at the Guildford Spectrum. Can be muddy if it's rained a lot beforehand.

An actual parkrun in a park. Parking at the Spectrum is free. A rolling 2-lap course on tarmac paths and grass.

Half Grass, half tarmac path, 2 laps.

Tricky in winter/wet conditions as the grass sections are on the edge sports fields and take the drainage.

Not flat, tougher than it looks.

Well supported at least 400+, also full of Surrey types so expect yappi

LOL at those complaining about the hills! Grassy / crappy paths, bit muddy and so not a particularly quick course. Friendly bunch, easy parking but just not quite as nice as you’d somehow expect for Guildford!!
