Course Details

The course is a run on mixed terrain. Half of the course is on footpaths and the rest is on grass or woodland trails. I only ever wear road shoes on this route however feel free to bring whatever shoes you are comfortable running in. You can always change after 1 lap.

Please note that the footpaths in the park are a public right of way, so we would ask that you give extra consideration to other users.
