MARKEATON PARKRUN REVIEW Event #451 - Derby's Scenic 5K Run!

MARKEATON PARKRUN REVIEW Event #451 - Derby's Scenic 5K Run! Markeaton Parkrun! A slightly hilly 2 lap course around Markeaton Park, Derby. The route is run on a mixture of tarmac paths, gravelled tarmac paths and limestone paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain! fun fact, Jenson Button the F1 driver created this course for his triathlon. Join me as I provide an in-depth review of my Markeaton Parkrun experience. Markeaton Parkrun consists of two clock-wise laps on a mix of tarmac and limestone path. The start is located by the stone bridge at the top of the lake. The course follows the lake towards the east side of the park then curves round to the right just before the park boundary and heads back towards the centre of the park. The course then crosses the main path in the park and passes the front of the south car park. At this point the surface changes to a limestone path and heads up a hill towards the wooded section. Just before the exit of the park the course takes a sharp right-hand turn and heads downhill along the south boundary of the park. After another sharp right-hand turn and a small hill downhill to the left the course follows the west boundary of the park, a left-hand turn leads back onto a gravelled tarmac path with a right-hand on to a straight path. Half way along this straight is a left-hand turn and the path passes behind the old stable building and back past the start where runners begin a second lap. On reaching the straight for a second time runners continue to the finish in front of the stone steps by the Orangery. Dogs, buggies / prams are allowed at this parkrun and there are public toilets close to the start / finish area. The route is run on a mixture of tarmac paths, gravelled tarmac paths and limestone paths., therefore, trail shoes or road shoes are fine. In terms of how busy the parkrun is, it is a busy parkrun, with a limited amount of space at the start so make sure you get close to the front if you are looking for a PB. There are on average 411 runners/joggers/walkers a week. Due to the course being slightly hilly, it is not the best course for a PB, however, there is the potential for a fast time! The atmosphere was great and there were some great volunteers to keep you going! This is the 29th parkrun I have recorded on the channel of which you can find a playlist of them below:    • Worldwide Parkruns   I will be doing parkruns all over the UK and rest of the world! Every Saturday I take part in a 5K run trying my hardest to get under 20 mins. Markeaton Parkrun is a great run to tick off the "M" on the alphabeteer challenge and it is the second "M" I have done! Let me know if you have ever completed the course. Hope you enjoy the video.
