Full Decription:

The course is 5k long. The course is in Hillsborough Park, Sheffield. The course is run entirely on tarmac 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.

We start near the children's playground in the park and head along the path towards Parkside Road. Turn right and then follow the paths around the main event square. Make a left turn when you pass the car park and go around the tennis courts and then past the bike park. A small incline past the duck pond takes you to a bend & past Stephen’s Corner. Follow the path for a second small climb up to the 'Top of the Hill'. Make a right turn and follow the path towards the Library Corner and back down to the children's playground. This is a lapped route - when you come down the hill after the library for the 3rd time, fork right and you will see the finish on the right hand side. Please keep to the right-hand side on the finishing straight, following the signage and guidance from marshals as appropriate.
