The course start will be adjacent. There you receive the map for your course, and you can start at intervals in your own time.

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 (less than 1km) courses. Do one and we tend to find a lot of the kids end up doing all 3!

For Adult beginners, older children and those that have attended earlier events in the series there will be 2 Medium courses (around 1.2km) and a longer course (3.5km). The longer course would be ideal for someone with a “Park Runner” type background.

Only the long course leaves the park, the other courses stay inside the park and do not cross any public roads. As the long course involves crossing public roads, under 16s should be accompanied by an adult.
