Course information
Our 5k event offers a single lap route around the picturesque, award-winning Lister Park, starting and finishing in the field nearest the Oak Lane entrance.
The terrain is predominantly path with just one 50m section across grass. The route includes a 200m uphill stretch but should be suitable for most levels of fitness and experience.
There will not be any water refill stations along the course so if you require water during the event, please remember to bring your own reusable water bottle already filled up. A ScottishPower water refill station will be available to use at the finish.
Please arrive 30 to 45 mins before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.
Our courses have been measured with a measuring wheel. This is the most accurate measurement method and may not always correspond with digital tracking apps and watches.

Please read the course information section regarding the terrain and uphill section to decide whether you feel this is a suitable course; it has been deemed 'accessible with assistance' through an assessment. Lister Park is on an incline, so sections of the course are of an uphill/ downhill gradient in places.
There are various access points into Lister Park. The nearest to the start line is the large gate on the corner of Oak Lane. Please see travel information section for detail on blue badge parking. The start and finish areas are both on the same grass field but are within 50m of each other and on flat ground.
