Thornes Park is where many of Wakefield's runners end up on a Sunday morning, but there's more to the city than park loops. The Calder towpath gives you flat miles for the longer sessions; get away from the river and the hills of West Yorkshire start making themselves known. If you're in the training block, Pugneys Country Park and Newmillerdam are worth getting to know - both give you something different from the towpath miles. Still building towards the full 26.2? Half marathons in Wakefield are a good place to start.
