Sheffield Hallam @ Endcliffe cancelled this week due to Sheffield Pride.

 

If anyone is planning to join us at RVp this week, or any other week, and you come by car, show your barcode at the gate on the way into parkrun, and you only pay a pound instead of five. Unfortunately, this discount doesn't work at other times.

 

The park is really supportive, so we encourage anyone who has time, to join us for a coffee afterwards.

 

Happy running.

I've never done the Hillsborough Park run so can't really answer your question. But I've done the Hallam one quite a few times.

 

The route's pretty good - two circuits around the park, a gentle climb following by a gentle run down each time. But Hallam is really, really busy. It's often a very slow / walking start. There tend to be quite a lot of dogs and pushchairs. It's often difficult to get past people, particularly running down Rustlings Road.

 

If you want a gentle, relaxed, friendly Park Run, Hallam's fine. If you want to run at your own pace, push yourself to improve each week and try to run a pacy 5k, Hallam is just too busy.

There's also free parking on Direct Cars side, allow 15 minutes to wander/jog round. The main car park gets busy now.
