Falkirk parkrun

Just a small report for anyone considering the Falkirk parkrun.
Its a testing course and i would estimate the time you should get would be on a par with Pollock.
for those that have done the National cross country you know most of the course. it starts at the west side of Callendar house and takes the crescent path round in front of the house towards the pond then follows the xc route beside the pond but on the road. at the end of the pond it turns right and climbs the hill but on a narrow trail all the way above the xc route but where you would drop out the trees on the xc it continues all the way to the end of the park and out to the road then almost immedietly back into the park and across the bridge at the xc ditch again following the xc route but on the road but just before the house you turn right and take on the hill again but this time its straight up till you meet the path you ran out on. At this point you have about 1k all downhill, actually its a good trail for running (no bumps or tree roots) then round by the pond to finish on the grass at the crescent. It should be considered more of a trail run than road but a fun event although conditions for this one were very humid so my time wasnt best but will be better when the air quality is better. Will return to this one again but not often. Dont know what they will do when the xc goes there in Feb as the routes overlap.
for those really interested my time is on the parkrun results page.
