Wow! This is a tough parkrun! I headed here for event 68 as I needed this event number to take my Wilson Index over 100. We headed down to Leicestershire to check out this parkrun and stumbled across a parkrun gem! This is definitely a run of two halves with an incredibly tough start but an extremely fast final 2 kilometres.

I can't emphasise enough how much you'll miss out on if you do not stay and explore this incredible place after parkrun. The parkrun route only touches the surface of the beauty of the country park and without a walk up to the rocks and trig point at the top then your visit is incomplete.

Huge thanks to Fiona and the whole team at Beacon Hill Country Park parkrun for a fantastic day. This is definitely a parkrun that should be added to your list... but maybe do some hill training first!
