The course

Course description

The event is held on paths around Northallerton Leisure Centre, on a mix of gravel and tarmac paths.
The course is 3 laps; one small lap followed by two larger ones. It incorporates the sports village athletic track, wooded section and two footbridges over Brompton Beck. The start is the far side of pitches behind the leisure centre. The course is almost flat with one short but steep downhill on the first lap and a few very slight climbs. There are a few narrow sections that are well signed. The finish is on the path beside the sports village track.
The area is open to the public during the event so expect to meet cyclists and dog walkers.
The event is suitable for dogs and buggies; extra care should be taken on the few narrow sections.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Hambleton Leisure Centre, Northallerton. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths, gravel paths and 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.

Facilities

Toilets and showers are available in the leisure centre.

More details

Public transport

Bus: The main bus stop in Northallerton is outside the Buck Inn at the north end of the High Street. For bus timetables to/from Northallerton and local services, visit the North Yorkshire County Council website. The venue is half way between the Buck Inn and Brompton.

On foot

The nearest bus stop is at the entrance to the venue.
It is a short walk from the main bus station (outside the Buck Inn) to the venue. Walk North along the A167 Darlington Road for approx. 500m, beginning by passing through the grounds of All Saints church. Cross over at Sainsburys, and keep walking towards the railway crossing until you can see Homebase and Halfords on your right. Walk down the footpath to the right hand side of Halfords, turn left at the school field and the venue is on the field in front of you.
From the train station, cross the road at the crossing outside the station entrance and turn left. At the roundabout, cross the first road and walk along South Parade towards the town centre. Cross over at the roundabout at the far end of South Parade, and walk straight on into the southern end of the high street. Saturday is market day, so the high street will be busy. Walk the length of the high street until you pass All Saints Church, then directions are the same as those above from the main bus station.

Course safety

Northallerton 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 Northallerton parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
