A total of 64 runners took part at Forest of Dean parkrun event #669

Becci Knowles was 3rd female on her debut. James Collier was 2nd overall. Alex Gannon still holds onto our fastest time.

The course is at Coverham Enclosure Five Acres, in the Forest of Dean, and run on forest paths.

Course Description

The start and finish are at the same point, which is located on the main forest trail about 200m from the entrance to the woods.

The course is comprised of two laps. The first is the simpler route, around 2k, on the outer perimeter and is clearly marked by posts, which are numbered with yellow discs 1-18 and other post with yellow directional arrows. The second lap is nearer 3k, is more technical but is clearly marked by posts with red discs numbered 19-36 and other posts with directional arrows also in red. This lap covers small parts of the perimeter but in the main is run inside the forest and takes a number of twists and turns throughout. Keep an eye on the markers to ensure you follow the correct course.

It is a working forest and conditions change with the seasons. Be aware of tree roots and other hazards. Trail shoes are recommended.
