Congleton parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Astbury Mere Country Park, Congleton. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths and trail paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

“A pleasant, albeit cool and wind swept, dry, winter run of 3, mostly trail path laps around the Astbury meer. Parking is not unlimited, and cost us £1.00. There is a coffee shop and presumably ablutions on…”Delta Siera · 4 stars

“Pretty flat 3 lap and scenic course round a mere on a mix of gravel and tarmac. Great mix of times from the quick to the walker mean the field is nicely spread out quickly and no big queues at the funnel or for…”Simon Wharton · 5 stars
