About this run route
Start / Finish
East Town Park visitors centre
The route takes you along pretty green tracks and paths where you can see loads of wildlife. It’s an undulating course but there’s plenty of nice scenery to keep your mind occupied. Start next to the visitors centre. Proceed past the wildlife pond and straight ahead towards the river. Cross the bridge over the river and climb the steps onto the dismantled railway line. Turn left and follow the path in the direction of Sturmer village. Immediately after passing beneath the old brick bridge, turn left up the steps onto the golf course. Follow the marked path across the golf course until you reach the road. Carefully cross over the road and onto the track opposite. The track will lead you around the back of Roman Way and Shetland road, with the Wilsey Woods on your right-hand side. At the end of the track turn left and immediately left again onto the playing fields. Follow the marked route through the playing fields until you come out onto Chalkstone Way. Turn left onto the pavement and follow the road down the hill towards East Town Park. At the bottom of the hill carefully cross the road back into the park. Follow the marked path along the edge of the river before turning left onto the tree lined avenue. Finish the course at the top of the avenue.
Please note:
The layout and usage of the marked 3-2-1 running routes is the responsibility of the local authority or further education establishment that purchases the route marking signs and usual health and safety and duty of care considerations should be followed in laying out open, even-surfaced, easy-to-follow, safe, accurate, well lit routes at all times - with the landowner’s permission. RunTogether will not provide materials with which to attach the markers.
