Course information

The Scunthorpe 5k course is a single 5K route mostly on grass. Some parts of the route involve going onto grass and woodland path that could be considered as rough terrain. Some sections involve uneven surfaces and narrow paths. The route starts and finishes in front of Normanby Hall and takes participants around various paths, woodlands and fields. Due to some of the course/start/finish being on grass, it may be slightly muddy underfoot depending on recent weather conditions.

Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. ScottishPower water refill stations will be available to use.

Unfortunately we do not recommend this event for wheelchair users due to the majority of the course being on grass or uneven woodland path with some inclines. Should wheelchair users wish to take part we could suggest a shorter 2K route which could be completed with assistance. Carers are welcome free of charge.
