Dirt Run - Round 2

The run takes place within the confines of the Country Park, if you find yourself outside the park boundaries then you have gone horribly wrong. From the start you will run around to the right and keeping left take care when crossing the road, there will be marshals on the crossing point. Follow the track until it then bends to the right and straightens downhill towards your favourite part – the hill! At the top of the hill keep left, then turn left for your first loop. Along the straight path with the gulley to your right take the first left and continue to the marshal point where you will turn right. Go straight on into the woods (ignoring the right turn) and follow the path round to the
right. Stay on the path with the gulley to your left, go past where you turned to the left on the out lap and turn right at the marshal point which takes you to the top of the hill. Bear left through the trees and out across the field and cross the road with care through the gaps in the wooden fencing. Keep left on the path, into the field where you started and stay to the left of the start line, loop round the fence at the top and keep left back towards the lap point or finish depending on which race you have opted for. For the 5K race, head straight to the finish line, 10K or 15K you will be directed down the path, across the road and round the field boundary towards the water station then back onto the loop for your 2nd round (10K), and 3 times round for 15k

The start is in a different place to the finish – this is in the field to the right of
the finish
