Todmorden Park 5k Series - Fast 5 1k-lap course around a flat picturesque park. Great course for training, breaking a PB or just enjoying an organised run. Races are Athlete bar code timed so results are highly accurate and available quickly The course is certified by Course measurement and insured under UKA.
The new course according to my Garmin has no elevation gain. When you add the fact that the quality of paths are amazing it certainly will be a fast and flat. On race day we will put an overtaking lane on the inside part of the course to make it even easier to overtake runners and produce faster times for all runners.
Route Description. The Route starts and ends in the same position at the statue in the middle path of the park. This will allow runners to finish off the main route and not disrupt other runners still running. Starting from the middle path it goes past the lucky dog, down the small hill and heads along the straight path to the bowling green entrance. Turning right through the bollards onto the straight and keeping on the path passing the bandstand to the bottom of the path. It then goes round the cones to the long straight back to the beginning of the race route. Repeat this route another 4 times till you get to the finish. The clock will be at the start so those interested in pacing simply need to divide your target time by 5 to get your 1k lap time.
The course has some very small undulations and only 2 turns on each lap so is a fast, fast course.
The course records are held by:
Male – Gary Shaw (15:57) From Burnley AC
& Female Sarah Ridehalgh (19:00) from Accrington RR (this was run on old slower course though)
