Saturday 10th May - Sixfields Upton parkrun
Please join us at Upton parkrun in Sixfields, Northampton for a club parkrun event in May. Come along with fellow members of DRR and undertake (or watch) a 5k on a Saturday morning. This parkrun is only around 20 minutes away. The more people that come along, the better the atmosphere and encouragement we can offer to not only fellow members but also all parkrunners that attend.
Getting There: Sixfields stadium is indicated by brown signs from the M1 motorway and on all major routes in the area. The stadium postcode is NN5 5QA and will allow sat nav users to find the area. The Sixfields stadium can be found at the junction of A4500 and A5076.
Parking: Parking is provided courtesy of Cineworld and TGI Fridays on the Sixfields leisure complex. No parking is provided on site and we are asked not to park in the local streets to avoid nuisance to residents.
Toilets: Toilet facilities are not available on site. The nearest are at MacDonalds.
If you have a club shirt please wear this, and we will do a group photo at 8.45am, near the start line.
As normal we will cheer all club members home, and if you're still energetic after your run, it would be nice to run back and support others.
Course Description: The course starts with a fast flat straight and then follows a mixed terrain pathway toward the river and follows round through farm gates. The course continues through a working farm and then re-enters the parkland through a narrow gate. The course then loops back toward the start before following out for a second lap. The final lap involves a small extra loop behind a brick building before the finishing straight.
Surface: The course is run entirely on trail path (road shoes are ideal).
Food after: We will be getting food at the cafe in Upton park after the parkrun has finished.
