Jesmond Dene parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Jesmond Dene, Newcastle upon Tyne. The course is run entirely on tarmac paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

What people say

“A tough Park Run, rates as a 3.95 on the official ratings, but if it rains you can take that up to a full 5 point 0! Start the hills strong but controlled and open it out once you get to to the park at the top, this…”Simon Clark · 5 stars

“This is not the park run for personal bests. Very hilly segments and some flats. Lovely views, a pond on the course, well marked and friendly Marshalls. There's an open market nearby to replenish after the run!”Oludamilola Bastos · 5 stars
