The 2010 Derby Big Fun Run information and guidelines

Description:

Derby gets active as The Big Fun Run comes to Darley Park. The 5km organised annual run invites people of all ages to take part, in the name of fun and of whatever charity you want to support.

The Big Fun Run takes place in four other cities across the UK on different dates: Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Milton Keynes.

All big fun run participants - no matter how fast or slow - receive a Big Fun Run medal and goodie bag

The Route:
The run starts and finishes alongside the River Derwent not far from the Rowing Club.  With 80 acres of parkland the course visits every corner of the park as well as running through its interior.

A mixture of grades of paths and with some elevation to climb the course is still very enjoyable with views of Derby as well as the mixed woodland that grows throughout the park. Please note that the route may be subject to change.

Start/finish area:

The start/finish area is located  in a clearing at the south end of Darley Park a short distance from the Rowing Club. This can be accessed via the entrance on Darley Grove.  Nearby is the bridge crossing that allows access from across  River Derwent.

The start/finish area will be indicated by a large inflatable archway.

Parking:

There is no parking or vehicle access within Darley Park. There is limited parking available off North Road next to the footbridge and surroundings areas.

Otherwise you may have to walk 10-15 minutes to the starting area so plan your journey accordingly. Pedestrian access is available via all entrances.

Runners are encouraged to consider public transport or car sharing.
