Guernsey parkrun (Vale)

A total of 335 parkrunners took part.

Robert Marsh ran here for the 1st time. Our record is by Richard Walker 22:43 which looks a great time as I have run this pretty difficult course.

Course Description

Starting on the footpath to the east of the Pembroke Bay car parks, this is a gently undulating and scenic two lap course.

The first section from the Start to the lower footpath at L’Ancresse is two-way, so it is important to keep to the left-hand side of the footpath to avoid collisions. The course then follows a clockwise route, initially on the coastal path.

Follow the coastal path for 0.8km to Stonecrusher before crossing to a grass track. Head up a gentle hill, turning left at the top past the WWII German bunker and left again to rejoin the footpath. Next, a right turn takes you onto another grass track which sweeps around La Fontenelle, giving a further chance to enjoy the sea views. The route then turns left, re-joining the footpath, crossing Longree before making a wide sweep over the Common with amazing views over L’Ancresse and Pembroke Bays, before dropping down, back to the two-way section.

Follow the coastal footpath once more, this time in the opposite direction, approaching the turnaround marker, which is clearly signposted, from left to right, for the second loop. Please stay on the left hand side of all paths and tracks to ensure you are in position to make the required turns and to allow others to pass safely.

After the second lap, continue to the finish through the finishing funnel which will be clearly marked and where the team will be ready to greet you.

A total of 471 parkrunners took part.

Sean Reeve ran a 3 sec PB. Jason Smith still holds our record of 24:09.

Course Description

The start and finish is by the Meadow cafe, near the clocktower within the park. The route is entirely on paved paths. A short out and back past the mini golf, turn right at the clocktower down the hill towards the tree lined avenue, another out and back towards Pounds House, back through the wooden arch, back up the hill and repeat the out and back past the mini golf to the finish line at the cafe. Note that the park is very well used by dog walkers and cyclists!
