Riddlesdown parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The start is located in Ibetts Piece. It is roughly equidistant from the entrances to the Downs from Honister Heights and Tithe Pit Shaw Lane. Walking from the Tithe Pit Shaw Lane entrance, Ibetts Piece is about 400 metres along the main path and to the right. The course encompasses a mixture of grass, gravel and stony 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.
