The course
Course description
This is a 3 lap course. The course is run almost entirely on grass with a short section of tarmac path. It can be very muddy so trail shoes or running spikes are recommended in wet weather.
The start is in the field which is next to the kiosk and adjacent to the west of the main car park.
Starting in the southeast corner, complete one full clockwise lap around the perimeter of the field. Runners then exit in the bottom west corner, over a bridge and enter a larger field.
Runners then turn sharply left uphill, following the cut-grass path, to start the first of 3 clockwise laps around the perimeter of this field. The cut-grass path turns right and then right again by a large pond. At the next path junction, head left gently uphill.
At the tarmac path turn right and head along the path for approximately 65 meters before turning left off the path.
Heading north the course snakes in between the trees and when you reach the end of the top field cones guide the runners around the top corner of the field, rounding 3 trees. Runners then head back along the east perimeter of the field. The tarmac path is crossed. Runners then reach the junction by the bridge where they originally entered the large field and the 1st lap is complete. Runners complete 2 more laps of the field.
After 3 laps, runners cross back over the bridge to the small field. Runners complete a final clockwise lap of the small field to reach the finish in the middle of the field.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Bruntwood Park, Cheadle, Stockport. The course is run entirely on grass. 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.

Course safety
Cheadle Hulme 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.
We hope these tips help to ensure that Cheadle Hulme parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
