About this parkrun
Nice chat with Damo, Yelling,26th Jan 2019
Two slightly different laps around the common on tarmac paths .. a really busy parkrun, but the marshals are brilliant and have it well organised

2 different laps on Southampton common. Extremely busy Parkrun but very well organised. Deceivingly undulating.

Large numbers, so if you're slower, it takes a while to get going and pass the start line. Some gentle rises on the course, but reasonably flat and fast.

Fairly fast course. Routinely gets 700-1000 runners. Congested at the start. All on tarmac, fairly wide but with so many people it's crowded for a km or 2. A 30 metre climb over the middle km is a little tough. Lovely downhill fnal mile.

Fast flat fig 8. Obviously very busy so expect congestion at the start. Very friendly and brilliantly organised.

Did it on an icy day, a few other local events were cancelled so there were over 1,000 finishers. Lots of pinch points where it was impossible to run but after a mile there was a bit of space. Loads of parking. Bacon butty after in brew and bake.

Fast, mostly flat, figure 8 course described as 1.5 laps, all on tarmac paths. Very crowded so start at the front if you're a speedster. Slight hill around 3Km but the down hill after makes up for it. Parking in Cemetery Road before 8:30.
