Parkrun on Holiday: Sutton Manor

This is not a sticker Saturday event but a chance to tick off "s" on the parkrun alphabet.

The course is at Sutton Manor Colliery, St. Helens. The course is run on a mixture of gravel paths and trail 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.

This out & back, undulating course takes place in a well established forest environment, comprising of fast gravel tracks, steep climbs / descents & a sharp right turn making this course both challenging & rewarding. Taking in some of the best views (weather dependant) across Cheshire & North Wales, the course also incorporates the iconic Dream sculpture.
