What people say
“Good ParkRun running alongside the Pontefract horse racecourse. Narrow, so be prepared to carefully negotiate your way through the runners until things open up after 500m or so. Easy to find, barely a mile off J32…”Cris Lehmann · 5 stars
“First time doing this Park Run and flew by with the basically single lap course.”Thomas Smith · 4 stars
