The Forest Park Ladies 5k is our long established Ladies-only race which was first run in 1993 and has more than 100 finishers most years. The race is popular with all ranges of abilities, from experienced athletes of county standard to beginners. This can be seen from the wide range of finishing times, from under 17 mins to over 50 mins. The race is run under UKA Rules, with a minimum age 13 years.
The race follows a mostly traffic free course along parkland paths, and it is fairly flat with just two small hills approaching footbridges, one of which the route crosses. The start is a short walk from Race HQ, under the subway into Birchwood Brook Park. The route follows the main footpath through Birchwood Brook Park, before passing the railway station and going up Birchwood Boulevard (the only road section of the course). It then joins Oakwood Gate path, passing the pond and the walled garden before crossing Oakwood Gate footbridge and following the main path back past the Fire Station to the Forest Park to finish on the opposite side of the field from the Ranger Centre.
