The course

Course description

The start and finish are near the lodge entrance close to the Bridge Lane / Bramhall Lane South roundabout (see course map). The route consists of 3 laps - 2 long laps that wind through the park and a shorter 3rd lap plus a start and finish straight.

On laps 1 and 2 as you reach the ponds bear left and into the wooded section. On lap 3 only turn right at the ponds and on reaching the wooden bridge you will rejoin laps 1 and 2.

A simple reminder is that you need to go up the hill to the white gate and then past the hall 3 times otherwise you will not have completed the course.

The terrain is mixed being approximately 40% tarmac and 60% trail/gravel/grass with sections of uneven ground, tree roots, adverse camber in the woods. Sections of the course can be slippery/muddy after rain.

The course is quite undulating with several changes of incline per lap. It is also quite narrow for long sections, so we ask participants to run/walk on the left and overtake on the right.

Due to the nature of the course, we don't allow people to participate with dogs or double buggies.
The course is also unsuitable for single buggies. Please contact the team in advance to discuss this further.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is in Bramhall park. Please note that dogs are not allowed at this event and run on tarmac (40%) and 60% off-road. 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.

Facilities

Toilets are located in the café near the hall. The toilets are open by 8.30am - if the black gate is closed push hard to open - cross the yard and the toilet entrance is just to the left of the café entrance doors.

More details

Public transport

Bramhall (1 km) and Cheadle Hulme (2km) railway stations are within jogging distance. Both have services from Manchester and Stockport (www.nationalrail.co.uk). There are bus stops (services 307, 308, 377, 378) by the roundabout adjacent to the race start (www.gmpte.com).

On foot

The start area is on the park road next to the lodge by the pedestrian gate near the Bridge Lane roundabout. From the car park go towards the hall then turn right down the park road past the white iron gate and continue down the hill directly to the start area. If you are lost don’t panic it is a small park. First find the hall. Then look down at the ponds and find the river. The start area is down on the far right by the road, where the river flows into the park.

By road

Bramall Hall is situated in Bramhall near Stockport (postcode SK7 3NX). From the south take the A34 then A555 to Bramhall then go through Bramhall towards Stockport on the A5102 (Bramhall Lane South). From Stockport take the A6 then A5102 (Bramhall Lane) through Davenport. From Manchester take the A34 then route through Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme. Brown signposts direct you to the hall car parking although see Parking below.

Bike Parking: Bikes can be locked (at your own risk) to a fence near the start.

Car Parking: There is plenty of parking in the car parks - follow the brown signs Bramall Hall SK7 3NX. Otherwise park politely on the wide residential roads nearby e.g. Carrwood Ave, St. Michaels Ave, Broadway, Linney Rd. Please do not park on the main roads, near the roundabout or on the roads surrounding the park. There is no parking close to the start so allow at least 10 minutes walk

Coffee

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: Stables Café - this is up near the hall, a great new café serving hot drinks and breakfasts with plenty of inside and outside tables. Please come and join us!

Course safety

Bramhall parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:

  • Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
  • Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
  • Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
  • We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
  • Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
  • Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
  • Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
  • If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
  • If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
  • Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. Consider protecting yourself by wearing repellent when at parkrun events in grassy or wooded areas. See lymediseaseuk.com for further details.
  • Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event.
    The only exception to this rule is when accompanied by an assistance dog.
  • Unfortunately this course is not suitable for pushchairs or buggies.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Bramhall parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
