Are Park Runs Destructive ?

[Swoop]

Any suggestions for a park run near Manchester Airport?

I'm dropping the wife off at the airport at 7:30 sunday morning (4th Jan) so fancied a race.. No fell races in the area..

The idea was do a park run and head to Llanberis to see mates so ideally that side of Manchester or Chester..

Woodbank Park is fairly close. Two laps on tarmac but a tough hill on each lap.
Cheadle Hulme is probably closer. All on grass but flat.
