Good course, mix of tarmac paths around an undulating park and then a splash (puddles!) along the canalside. Third time up the climb to the top of the park felt tough! Not sure it's got capacity to be a huge parkrun as some of the paths are small and have tight turns, but gets a thumbs up from me.

larkim Sep 2017 7:27pm, 24 Sep 2017 2,817 posts	0 larkim You might need a bit of a swim to cross the mersey...
rhb Sep 2017 8:04pm, 24 Sep 2017 892 posts	0 rhb No swim, cut through towards Chortonville, pickup path at end of Brookburn then use Footbridge at Jacksons Boat. Driver'd likely still be sat at the Stretford Mall junction in that time.
