Heaton parkrun

About this parkrun

Huge attendance numbers here but still feels friendly. All tarmac (so road shoes) lots of easy parking. Very 'undulating' definitely worth a visit!

All on paths, inner loop outer loop with gentle hill. Can be congested in 1km as massive field. Seem to have pacers as a norm and pace start guides which not everyone follows.

Despite large field still a friendly community feel. Loads of parking.

All on fairly wide paths with a small loop followed by a large figure of 8 lap. One long steady climb at around half way. Friendly people, attractive course but large attendance so can be congested for the first 400m

A small loop followed by a large loop of a very large park. A hill that is not as bad as expected thrown in for good measure. Well marshalled, finish was well organised. Packed at the start, took half a mile to get enough room to get into my stride

Very busy parkrun but on mostly wide paths so not too congested. Small loop then large loop, undulating but not too hilly, lots of parking, lovely park, good facilities and friendly group of volunteers.

All on good paths, some hills including Angina Hill! Bibs for lots of special occasions

Very popular (aka busy) but very well organised/marshalled. Big hill...

Huge crowd here! Great atmosphere but very congested for the first mile. A really pretty park route with a bit of a hill in the first half.
