Course information
Our 5k event offers a single lap route around the grounds of Graves Park. Less than 5% of the course is on an incline and the terrain is a mixture of grass, tarmac and narrow woodland paths which may be uneven in places.
This event is suitable for all levels of fitness and experience but unfortunately cannot accommodate wheelchair users due to the terrain.
Please bring a reusable water bottle with you if you require water during the event, as there will only be water available at the finish.
