Basingstoke parkrun

A total of 416 parkrunners took part.

Robert debuted here. Our best times are Ian Briscoe 22:48 & Tracy Strydom 30:11.

Course Description

The Basingstoke parkrun course uses both grassed areas and tarmac paths. There is one small lap of the football pitches followed by two large laps of the park. There are marshals at key points.

The course starts on the grass in the northwest corner of the football pitch area of the War Memorial Park. It starts with one full clockwise lap of the two football pitches. Then along the northern edge again to the next corner before leaving the football pitch area by veering off to the left and then a sharp left hairpin on the short hill. Then the course goes between the trees and turns right onto the tarmac path going round the lamppost. Before you get to the subway steps turn right, cutting the corner, and head down the hill on the tarmac path through the trees. Go straight on at the bottom and then up the hill with the tennis courts on your right, this is affectionately known as Tennis Court Hill (TCH) and is renowned as a PB breaker. Once at the top, go briefly off the tarmac path to cut the corner and re-join the path going to the left of both play areas. Follow the path clockwise right round the edge of the park, past the bandstand, the aviary and the gate by the council offices. Follow the path round to the right and then straight on through the trees. As you emerge from the trees follow the path straight on, past the small car park on the left and round to the right of the Totally Tennis building. After you have passed the building, turn left onto the grass by the first tree on the right. Follow the markers around the football pitch area and then continue to do another large lap of the park. At the end of this second large lap as you turn onto the grass football pitch area head straight for the middle to finish.
