Upton House parkrun (Poole)

A total of 598 parkrunners took part.

Course Description

The course consists of two big loops and one small loop within Upton Country Park in the order big - small - big.

To find the start and pre event brief gathering point, follow the path from car park past the tea rooms and through the gate.

Shortly after the start, turn sharp left to start the first anti-clockwise big loop which takes you downhill through woods and left onto a path which meanders through an open meadow. Towards the end of the first loop at the top of an incline you pass the finish funnel and keep straight on, passing the start point again. At the next junction, carry straight on to commence the small anti-clockwise loop. There will be runners in both directions for a short stretch at the start/end of this smaller loop so always stay right. At the top of the hill turn right to start the big loop for a second time. As you near the top of the incline on the second big loop, head left into the finish funnel on the grass.

The course is mildly undulating and offers stunning views over Holes Bay.
