Whiteley parkrun

A total of 298 parkrunners took part.

I ran my NENDY at last. It's not as bad as some have said, although there is a short out and back where you will have 4 lines of runners as people are being lapped. I was 4th in the Age Grades of 298, some 3 minutes short of our record by Sonny Locke

Course Description

The course consists of 1 small lap and 3 large lap and the course is 100% tarmac. Starting at the green pin follow path along past the finish, on the uphill section please keep to left, at top follow path to left. As you approach the start turn left, you are now starting your 3 large laps, when approaching the hill please move to right hand side of path when safe to do so, from now on please keep to right hand side of course to allow others to pass on left. At top of hill turn right down hill a marshal will turn you left, you now have a long straight section be careful when wet as fallen leaves maybe slippery, following path along to turn point a triangle structure marked by yellow marker. Return back way you came until reach marshal who will turn you right follow path past start point.

Repeat twice more. On 3rd time carry on to reach red marker the finish.

Itchen Valley Country parkrun

A total of 313 parkrunners took part.

Ashleigh Moira ran a huge 5:01 PB and Paul Griffin ran here for the 1st time.

Course Description

Participants will navigate a variety of surfaces, including grass, compacted gravel, forest trails, and bridle paths, which are closed to horse riders for the duration of the event. The course is a single lap with only two brief sections where participants will encounter others coming the opposite way. Trail shoes are recommended.

Starting in the field adjacent to the top car park near Go Ape, the route heads slightly uphill across the neighbouring field before joining the bridle way (the bridle gate is removed during the event to avoid crowding) with a right turn. Participants then follow a series of turns through a mix of bridle paths, trails, and grass, eventually exiting near the top of the field where they first joined the bridle path. At this point, they make a right turn and pass behind the totem pole, continuing down a compacted gravel path on a gradual slope, entering the forest trail for the final 2k.

The course then follows the off-road cycle route and forest trail before rejoining the path where participants had entered the woods earlier. After this short two-way section, the course concludes with a straight finish across the field where it began.

Lochend Woods parkrun

A total of 149 parkrunners took part.

Maria Tucker and Clive are our 1st 2 runners here in Dunbar.

Course Description

The course starts at the running track outside Hallhill Sports Centre and is a figure of eight shape comprising of two laps. The course heads west away from the centre on tarmac paths around the sports pitches before returning towards the centre and then heading into Lochend Woods before returning towards the centre and repeating itself. Upon exiting the woods for the second time, the course heads towards the finish line finish in front of the sports centre. The course will comprise mixed surfaces (grass, tarmac paths and woodland trail) with a large section in Lochend Woods where the pathway is narrow in parts.

Due to the nature and terrain of the course, it may be unsuitable for participants with buggies. Due to the width of the pathways on the out and back sections, we also ask that people with double buggies not to participate due to increased risks for all participants. Please contact the team in advance for more information.

Please remember that the route uses shared paths and is close to other sporting activities with children participating and parents spectating. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other members of the public.
