The course
Course description
Temple Newsam parkrun is a 2 lap, multi-terrain course with the 2nd lap being slightly different to the 1st. The start is located within a few metres of the entrance to Home Farm on a wide tarmac path (what3words: saves.player.under). The route starts with a short climb and heads left in front of the stunning House. Continuing left, the course picks up a short section of tree-lined, light gravel path before a right turn takes you all the way down (enjoy it while it lasts) the smooth tarmac of Pegasus Hill. Just before the M1 motorway underpass there’s a hard left turn onto a gravel track. Proceed along the main track which sweeps right and then left before you head towards the woods and take a left turn onto a short concrete section (notice the Little Temple atop the hill to your right). Upon reaching the lower Menagerie pond, continue straight up (remembering that hills are your friends, they make you strong) on the main tarmac path all the way back to the start. The 2nd lap is a repeat of the 1st until you reach the pond, where instead of going straight up the hill (don’t get too excited), you turn right and then left at the other end of the pond. Follow the tarmac path up (again) and round to the left (showcasing the amazing rhododendrons) to the finish line which is slightly lower down the hill than the start.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is in Temple Newsam Estate, Leeds. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths, gravel 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. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

Course safety
Temple Newsam 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 Temple Newsam parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
