Starting at the Valley Leisure Centre changing pavilion, this is a 2 lap clockwise course on tarmac paths around the main body of the Valley Park. The course is not flat as the park is located on a slope therefore we have both uphill and downhill gradients that could be described as gradual rather than acute or severe. The start line and finish line is the Peace Gate located in front of the changing pavilion in the centre of the V36 Park area.
