Parking
This course is mainly on the paths within Lydiard Park apart from two sections on grass. These sections are in front of Lydiard House and in a field which is a shortcut for the course. There is a short incline into a wooded section near the lake.
With those considerations, the course is wheelchair accessible but with assistance, as these sections can be bumpy in places and can become boggy in poor weather conditions.
The start/finish area is also on grass and is approximately 75m from the main Lydiard Park car park, where there is blue badge parking and appropriate drop off points.
