Armley Park - Introductory Event

The series is designed to cater for beginners of all ages.

All children and young people can take part in the events.

We also welcome adults who would like to try out the sport

Parkland venues are chosen so suitable courses can be planned in a safe environment.

Safety Information

Parkland venues are chosen so suitable courses can be planned in a safe environment.

A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event.

Directions / Parking

Limited parking in Armley Park. Parking on adjacent residential streets. Please park considerately

Registration & Start Times

We will be ready to see you from 1:00 pm

When you arrive you will receive a “Dibber”, an electronic timing chip, given the opportunity to look at the map before you start and an AIRE coach will be on hand to assist to talk you through what to do and answer any questions. The course start will be adjacent. There you receive the map for your course, and you can start at intervals in your own time.

You can start at any time up to 2.30 pm.

We try to close courses by 3pm.

Entry Details

Entries are £1 for each person for their first course. After that that there is no charge for running more courses.

Course Information

For youngest competitors we provide three short (900-1100m) courses. Do one and we tend to find a lot of the kids end up doing all three!

For older children and those that have attended earlier events in the series there will be two medium (1.9km) courses and one long (2.9km) course.

All courses stay inside the park and woods. The Medium and Long courses cross into Gotts Park and pass through the golf course (but not across the fairways)

Terrain Description

Open parkland, woods and golf course.

Dog restrictions

Dogs on a short lead please. Please clear up any mess.
