Pontypool parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is in Pontypool Park, Torfaen. 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.

After the run

Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee in the Active Living Centre where the cafe now hosts a 'dog cafe' too. Dogs are welcome to come in and they sell doggie treats too - please come and join us!

“Lots of doggos! Pontypool park is lovely and when I did this parkrun it was two fairly interesting laps around the park, ending in the football grounds which was unique. Would’ve given it 5star if it wasn’t for being 2…”Ollie Ley · 4 stars
