Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

About this parkrun

First clue: Valley. Read hills. Long hills. Twice. It's not for the faint hearted, but it is a good one. Lovely route. Well worth going, expect water on the course if it's been raining. The cafe in the leisure centre is very good - be hungry!

Tarmac paths with some gravel. Two lap course, first half of each lap uphill. Tree cover over much of the route, round duck pond and finish under a Stonehenge like monolith

Lovely course. And very friendly, welcoming people.
2 laps on tarmac; first half of each is uphill the second down. Some pinch points by the pond where you need to be aware of other park users.

Lovely friendly event in an attractive park. Plenty of free parking. Course all on tarmac with a couple of gritty corners. Uphill start ramps up a bit but never anything to be scared of, then a lovely long smooth descent, then repeat.

2 lap course with a decent hill you do twice followed by a delightful easy graded descent as a reward.
Lovely event and a really nice course
