Waterworks parkrun, Belfast

The course

The course is 5k long. It's run inside Waterworks Park which is at the junction of the Antrim and Cavehill Roads in North Belfast. There are large 'tombstone' shaped posts marking the Start and Finish as well as at each kilometre and at key turns. 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.
