The course

Course description

Starting opposite the courts, head towards the car park and turn right just before the barrier. Down the hill and turn right to follow the path around the perimeter of the park. DO NOT cross the bridges. Avoid the steps by taking the right turn and head for the slope. At the top of the slope, turn left into the ornamental gardens. Run around the outer path and back out into the park. BEWARE of other runners entering the gardens. Head for the archway (both paths are the same distance but stay off the grass!) and onto the main pathway. Take care over the 'sleeping policemen' (speed bumps) and pass either side of the barriers showing consideration to other runners and park users. Continue past the start onto the next lap. After you have completed 4 laps (been up the slope 4 times!), head to the finish on the left side of the path. Cross the line once and once only! Stay in order in the funnel - DO NOT leave the funnel until you have collected a finish token. EVERYBODY takes a token. If you don't want to be included in the results, that's fine - don't present a barcode to the scanner. DO NOT TAKE OUR TOKEN home! Please remember that everyone else has right of way at all times! Respect other runners and other park users at all times.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Chadderton Hall Park, Chadderton. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths and compressed stone chip 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.

Facilities

Toilets are located at the side of the café but are maintained by the local authority.

More details

Public transport

Bus routes 58 and 59 stop on Middleton Road near Chadderton Hall Road. It is a short walk from there to the park. The nearest rail station is Mills Hill. From the station, you can catch the 58 or 59 to the venue. Timetables available through the Transport for Greater Manchester website.

On foot

From Mills Hill station, head towards Oldham/Royton/Chadderton along Middleton Road. Bear left onto Haigh Lane. Continue along this road until it merges with Chadderton Hall Road. The Pavilion Café is located in the park with access from the main road.

By road

The main car park is located at sat nav: OL1 2TL but there is limited room for only 15 cars. There is space to park along the main road next to the café or in the surrounding streets. Please park responsibly on side streets in the area ensuring you don't block access to people’s properties. Where possible, please car share or consider using public transport. From the bus stop or the station to the venue is a nice little warm up.

Course safety

Chadderton Hall 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.
  • It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
  • 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.
  • You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
  • parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.
  • There is an AED available at the Pavilion Cafe which is located near to the finish line.

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