Travel and parking

Enter the park from the Northern entrance:

Watermead Country Park,
Wanlip Road,
Leicester

Most of the parking is by the race village and finish area.

Parking will be limited so car sharing is vital.

The Course

A two lap, fast course around the lakes of the Watermead Country Park.

The course is well marshalled with two water stations on the course, plus water at the finish line.

A map of the course will be added once it has been finalised and officially measured.

In the event of flooding

Watermead Country Park is prone to flooding, although less likely during May. If the Park is only partially flooded an alternative course within the Park will be used.
