Course information
Our 5k event offers a single lap route around the grounds of Temple Newsam Park. Nearly 10% of the course is on an incline and the terrain is a mixture of grass, tarmac and woodland tracks 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.

Parking
Wheelchair users: Unfortunately, none of our events are this venue are currently suitable for wheelchair users. This is due to the large sections of the course being on grass or narrow woodland tracks with no suitable path available as an alternative. Nearby venue Bradford offers an alternative course more suitable for wheelchair users.
Pushchairs: Our 5k event cannot accomodate pushchairs due to the narrow and uneven terrain in some sections.
Dogs: Our 5k event can accomodate dogs. Please be mindful of others whilst on the course and maintain a short lease at all times.
