About this parkrun
Long undulating straight leading to 2.5 laps of the park perimeter. Mostly tarmac, about 20 meters each lap on compacted soil. Quite a walk to the après-parkrun.Kanajlo 17th Jan 2019
Can get a bit crowded, but interesting, slightly undulating route, good paths and nice park with easy parking too.

Three undulating laps of the outer path passing the finish twice before finishing the 3rd time. Long established & well organised parkrun

The laps of the park on undulating tarmac. A lot of runners and write a lot fast so expect lots of overtaking. Tree lined everywhere and good views around the course of other runners Coffee on the Crescent has a great selection of treats.

One of the original time trials and the first outside of London. Three laps that aren't flat but for Yorkshire aren't hilly!

Course changed a few times over the years and now starts in the middle of the park rather than by the gate. The course can be icy in stretches and always attracts a good number of runners so paths can get crowded at the start.

Three laps on tarmac around a park. Some ups and downs but nothing beyond my (limited) ability. Will go back some day.

Start in the middle of the park then three laps round the outer edges of the park, mostly good paths. Crowded at the start but thins out well.
No toilets nearby but parking on the roads around the park. Friendly volunteers.

New route post pandemic with a bigger starting area to accommodate the big numbers (600-800 runners is usual). Still 3 laps but newer version goes opposite direct and there's a climb at the end of each lap which makes the "sprint" finish very cruel. No mo
