About this parkrun

Fast flat and well run
MAD Superman 22nd Dec 2018

Good for those using M1 on a Saturday, 1.5 miles from Jn25. Parkland tarmac wide paths, flat and fast, 2 lap PB course. Changing and showers in Leisure Centre. Cob and Tea in Rugby Club bar after. 400+ runners.

Pancake flat, with only a couple of 90 degree turns to navigate. Two laps of the park. Can be a bit exposed in high wind, but it's otherwise the ideal place to burn it up. And you might get to meet Chrisity, pabsey and others.

Run @ West Park Leisure Centre (NG104AA) close to J25. 2 laps of a lovely flat easy to navigate route. Toilets, storage, breakfast etc in Rugby House Cafe near start.

2 lap flat course on tarmac. Can be windy though. Great location for travelling tourist en route to somewhere using the M1.

Fast, flat course, easily road shoes. Some variation in turns around the circuit.

One of the fastest in the country - a tiny elevation change over the course (<10m?), with only a couple of tight corners on each lap with U shapes to get over 'High 5 bridge'. Be aware that going fast you'll catch the back markers.

This is a great parkrun - really flat, easy course. A couple of turns but nothing too bad. Good bacon butties in the rugby club after.

Great PB parkrun, flat and on tarmac!

Good parkrun - two laps all on paths in a park. There’s a bridge which has two way traffic on it but is controlled well. Around 500 or so runners but plenty of space 😊

Flat and fast BUT it is narrow and busy so can take a while to be able to run at your own pace. Two laps, good free parking and toilets in the leisure centre
