For 25th July we need another marshal please if anyone can help.

Mount Edgcumbe parkrun (west of river Tamar)

A total of 110 parkrunners took part.

Course Description

Mount Edgcumbe parkrun offers an off-road course where ‘up hill’ means stunning views and reaped rewards. Set inside the grounds of Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park, we present a mixed-terrain offering, with two of the three miles being grass and trail - off road/trail shoes are recommended. We meet by the main house where parkrunners can leave coats and belongings, as well as join the First Timers’ Briefing. We then take a short warmup walk/jog down to the start together.

The route begins on the wide boulevard drive near 'Aunty Em's Gatehouse', close to the lower gate at Cremyll. From here, head south. The drive turns left with Drakes Island straight ahead in eye-line (later to be seen from above!). Take the tarmac drive round to the right, remaining on the path and head over the bump towards the duck pond. Here the course follows the path up towards the main house then turning left up through the woods. The course takes in the top part of the Folly Slope and enjoys stunning views of Plymouth Sound, the Breakwater and Cawsand Bay - walking is celebrated if only to take it all in! Returning back down the grassy slope and back through the woods, the finish is in front of the Mount Edgcumbe House... and a short step from the Farriers Cafe.

The course presents an almost-out-and-back route, with the start and finish approximately 500m apart.

Gibraltar Botanical Gardens parkrun

A total of 128 parkrunners took part.

Course Description

Starting from the upper entrance gate to Gibraltar Botanic Gardens from Europa Road, out and back 3 times through trees and planted gardens on wide tarmac paths, with gentle slopes and one hill with a total elevation gain of around 100m. The start and finish are close to each other. It is very important to stay to the left at all times.

Due to the nature of the course, steep sections with an adverse camber may cause a risk of buggies & pushchairs tipping - please contact the team in advance for further information.

Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event. The only exception to this rule is when accompanied by an assistance dog.
