Course Instructions for 3 miler:
Note:
There have been changes to the original
map of the new course around Chingford Park. However, the
major part of the 2 lap course will stay the same. The start
will be on the grass between the club rooms and the northern
perimeter of the fields. The runners will turn sharp left
at the main driveway and head towards the main entrance,
they will then turn left up the North Road footpath towards
Tannadice Street. At Tannadice Street the runners will turn
left and then turn sharp left again towards the soccer fields.
As they enter the soccer fields the runners will turn sharp
right to follow the northern perimeter of the fields to
run past the clubrooms again following the main part of
the 2km course and then doing 2 laps of the 2km as described
below:
Running past the clubrooms for the second
time, the runners will turn right at the gravel main drive
to cross the small bridge and then turn right again to run
anti-clockwise around the gravel road.
The runners will almost totally circumvent
the gravel circular road, but before getting back to the
bridge, will again turn right to run alongside the river
towards Afton Terrace, following the cones and the standards.
Once the runners reach Afton Terrace, they will keep to
the left and run along the concrete footpath and then turn
left at Beechworth Street.
Still keeping to the left and on the footpath,
the runners will approach the bridge where they will be
required to run on the road for about 30 metres. Here they
are required to stay to the left of the two cones at the
bridge. Once past the bridge, the runners are required to
return to the footpath and when reaching Ainslee Place,
will turn left into Ainslee Place, still keeping to the
footpath and running on the left side of Ainslee Place,
until reaching the end of Ainslee Place, and keeping on
the footpath make a U turn back down the other side of Ainslee
Place, keeping to their left and on the footpath.
When reaching Beechworth Street again, the
runners will turn sharp left and keeping on the left footpath,
head towards North Road. Once they reach North Road, they
are required to turn sharp left to head up North Road towards
Norwood Street and Tannadice Road. Staying on the footpath
on the left side of North Road and Norwood Road, the runners
will turn left down Tannadice Road, and then sharp left
again to head towards the north entrance to the Chingford
Park soccer fields. On entering the fields the runners are
required to turn sharp right to continue on part of the
soccer fields circuit running through the start (without
doing another loop of the fields) and past the clubrooms
for the third time to turn right at the main driveway to
the bridge and do another lap of the course.
When the runners come back onto the fields
at the end of the second lap, they will follow the same
route, turning sharp right to finish outside the clubrooms.
