Stamford Park (Stalybridge) Parkrun inaugural run yesterday.
A nice little Cross-Country course on the parkland behind Tameside Hospital.
Course is 2 x 2km laps of mostly XC trail with steady climb / descent, plus 1km total for the level out and the back section.
Around 8% slower than a fast flat 5km.
Stamford not quite as tough as Lyme Park in current dry conditions but tougher than many and I can see Stamford getting tougher in winter. due to terrain. Overall an interesting and varied addition to the Greater Manchester Parkrun suite.
