KinkyS Bugger of a hill and you have to run up it twice! But otherwise a really nice event with good facilities considering it is a free Parkrun, and a good course with no bottlenecks or overcrowding. Shame it doesn't get a bigger turnout really :-/ Maybe the hill puts people off, even though the rest of the course is nice. 1st lady, 9th overall. But slower than hoped for due to staying out drinking and dancing in silly boots until 3:30am...

snogard I had forgotten just how challenging the hill through Vernon park can be, but this is a good indicator of where my training needs to progress as I found myself having to walk a good part of the hill. Last summer I could run up it so much work to be done.

Mr J A bit of a hill and it was two laps!!! Nice to start and finish on the athletics track.

About this parkrun

Two laps on tarmac. One small hill per lap, 41m total elevation gain. Fairly small carpark.

Definitely one for the to do list, and as they have never cancelled you can always be sure it's on! The killer hill twice needs forewarning. Two and a half laps and road shoes preferable (unless they are running an ice avoiding alternative!)

I’ve only done the ice avoidance ones so don’t actually know what the proper route is like! Very friendly though - do like this one.

Plenty of space to get running, 2 laps with a short steep hill thrown in to be run up twice!

Lovely parkrun on tarmac paths, short but steep hill to run up twice, start and finish on grassy area. Did number 610 for fibonacci challenge so double amount of people as usual but still not too crowded. Friendly volunteers and good facilities.

2 laps and a bit on tarmac with a testy hill each lap. One small stretch of trail (125m) each lap, muddy when wet. The best of two contiguous parks. Road shoes OK.
