A total of 307 runners took part at Braunstone (Leicester) parkrun event #542, where Ian Briscoe is our 1st runner.

The run starts on the grass between Gooding Avenue and Braunstone Hall with two clock-wise laps. Most is concrete though. There is short section of grass at the start, and a short section of grass at the finish. The remainder of the route is run on paths within the park.

The first lap starts in an easterly direction before turning right and joins the path from the main entrance to the park with a right turn, followed by a left turn.

A long downhill straight, followed by a right turn past the skate park, round to the two small lakes.

After the second lake turn left diagonally across the car park, turning right to rejoin the path. After 100 yards turn right at the first bridge.

Follow the path up the hill between the trees and then turn left after the hedge, and after a short distance the path joins the main lap.

The second lap follows the same route, except you turn right at the third bridge after the car park where the finish will be in sight up a short grass hill.
