Interesting run. A small parkrun (199 runners on our Saturday we visited), well co-ordinated by very enthusiastic volunteers. Parking easy and available. its a relatively flat run, with only a few spots to watch your step - mud or rocky sections. The run doubles back in a few places, then cross a bridge and back but each is well guided by the marshalls. The graffiti along the water channel is interesting, particularly from the bridge which is not something you will see driving on the M1. The play area in the park we noted is a park gym, with the most interesting equipment. If you need some strength training after the run, its certainly worth a visit.
As a visitor, once again the volunteers make or break a parkrun and they were great. Cake afterwards due to the birthday. They do the best with the space available in the park so the route is filled with loops and oncoming runners, which can be a challenge for some people who want to overtake or walk alongside each other to chat. Relatively easy route.
Great park run... More of a trail run. So u gotta be careful of uneven terrain for the serious runners. The team is excellent and organised... Second to none and there visible armed security which just gives u peace of mind.
My kids loved it there every time we went there for a mini picnic , they would play and all that. But I think they should add more play kits. I love the green gym as well , its a different experience working out outdoors.
Great crowd, good trail, all ages can walk or run.The Volunteers are friendly and helpful.Great way to start your Saturday!
Lovely park. Good place to go for family picnic. Or to just go and relax and clear your mind and release the day to day tension
Had a fab morning today at Atholl Parkrun, celebrating its 2 years
Nice smallish field, central location, easy to get to and lots of safe parking. Sadly, the park was filled with litter but hopefully the Parkrun participants will pick up litter and encourage other park users to do the same. Route is fairly flat (lots of false flats !) Downhill start and uphill finish. The course has lots of loops meaning if you are (like me and) at the back, you see all the front runners which can be inspiring (but also the opposite ;-) )
Real curates egg. Lovely at the top end but very scruffy along the spirit. Definitely needs a clean up weekend
Great place in the suburbs to go for a run. The route is a bit messy but Id recommend the run to anyone
What a great Volunteer team! Lovely route. Pretty flat, and many water bowls en route for dogs
Organised. Efficient. Not pretty. Walk in single file at times
I wish people would not bring their poor dogs on the parkrun at 8am. Its way too hot for them. Imagine you being stuck in the over for an hour. Thats how they feel.
Its a great park for Parkrun , its a shame its a bit run down but generally great
It was my 1st time. It is so well organized and everyone was friendly.
The volunteers were super friendly and helpful with an awesome vibe. However I cant say I enjoyed the course which runs alongside the busy M1. For those who dobt mind car fumes, the course was relatively flat and easy to find parking.
Fantastic run in a local park .wonderful to see more than 300 people exercising and improving their lifestyle
Wonderful to see a wide variety of people with family dogs taking a 5km run on a magnificent God given morning.Cleaned up a pirtion of the park so runners could be safe from injuriy due to broken bottles.
I love Parkrun and the officials here are friendly and helpful. The track, however, is very suboptimal. Mud, glass and litter everywhere and right next to the M1 highway.
Well organized ParkRun. Not crowded with less than 100 participants.
Its a bit of a strange route. Great people
For my first time I really enjoyed it and I will be doing it a lot more
Great Parkrun in the City with a well organised team that made the event a great experience....Certainly worth a visit
Pleasant run in urban surrounds. Small enough to not get crowded on the route
Challenging Parkrun. Clean and enjoyable
Great run in the park with friendly volunteers
Well organised Parkrun in a narrow belt of Parkland.
Absolutely super. Good parking at Blubird a plus!
Challenging, but nice. Seems confusing, but well marked. Most enjoyable run.
First week was good second week better third week started off a light rain but landed up in a downpour we all managed the Route was changed and we all enjoyed it
Nice course, slightly muddy in areas though. Organisers do a good job.
It was great I got my new PB
Gets you ready for the weekend ahead. What fun.
The Athol parkrun is mainly on grass and sand. The route is basically a loop overlooking the M1 highway and although it is a dusty parkrun on a windy day, it is a relatively flat parkrun
Perfect for dog lovers and people who enjoy a little terrain
Gr8 park run really quiet as well
A bit crowded not a great course. First one so may improve going forward
Not the usual number of Park Runners due to rain. The course was very wet.
Good security so its safe
Chilled and well looked after
We are here as a team from work
Mazy run. Muddy after rain
Overall enjoyable parkrun.
It was amazing and it very safe
Best place to relax
The place is workable.
The area is small making the route quite confused. I did not enjoy it.
Great Social Networking
Well organised and run
Awsome Saturday mornings
Walked the route on dryrun... Looking forward to launch on Saturday 3 March
Nice course, uphill finish
Very nice run.
Nice, compact Parkrun, well organized
So much garbage on the way..good thing I had glove and bag!
A lot of building rubble on the route, not a reflection on the ParkRun itself but more on the state of the park
Quite a tough course, some uneven terrain and a long slow incline to the finish
Great route and scenery
Centralized and fun to explore
Very safe
Friendliest people!
Narrow park and no scenery en route.
Needs some work
