The 5k route is a single lap course taking in both Woodbank Memorial Park and Vernon Park. The terrain is a mixture of paths and grass, with a steep descent and ascent between Vernon Park and Woodbank Park. The course also takes in a lap of the athletics track. Due to the course in Woodbank Memorial Park being partly on grass, it may be slightly muddy underfoot depending on recent weather conditions.

Please arrive 30 to 45 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.

We would recommend that this event is wheelchair accessible with assistance.

The event site can be accessed from the car park by a hardstanding path, however the event site is on grass. Parts of the course is on grass, but it is mostly paths. The course thorugh Woodbank Memorial park is fairly flat, however the route into and the returning route from Vernon Park is very steep. There is also a small section of cobbles.

Due to the time of year the event is taking place, the grass may become boggy in poor weather conditions.

The venue is accessible from most entrances with disabled parking available at each car park.
