The course
Course description
The start is located in the centre of the park in the bandstand area, this area can be used to store belongings undercover and bicycles on the railings at your own risk.
From the bandstand in the centre of the park, take the path that heads uphill towards the back of the basketball/tennis courts. The start line is where the uphill path leaves the bandstand area.
Follow this path uphill, past the basketball/tennis courts on your left. Keep right up the hill until you get to the big gate at the top
Go through the gate and turn immediate left; go through two bollards and then past a single bollard.
When you reach the nursery building, turn and follow the path to the left and then turn right by the bin and toward the café.
Run past the café on your right - you are running over cobbles at this point.
Stay on path heading down hill, towards gates at the south end of the park. Just before these main gates follow the path to the left and enter the woods; bear right and take path downhill with green railings either side.
Go straight ahead, stay on path and past the ‘middle’ bridge on left. Keep stream on left till you see small concrete footpath over stream. Go over stream and turn left, running back along the other side the stream, keep stream on left.
Keep straight on on this path and exit the woods where you entered them and turn right up the hill.
Keep right, through the dip and back past the start.
Run a full loop again, on your third loop just before you reach the dip in the path, turn left towards the bandstand for the finish.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is in Hyde Park, Tameside, Greater Manchester. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths and trail 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.

Course safety
Hyde 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 Hyde parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
