Explore the Abbey Park
Location: Latimer, City of Leicester
This loop explores Abbey Park in the heart of Leicester, offering a flat and accessible run on mainly paved paths. The route follows the River Soar for a stretch before joining the towpath of the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Line), combining waterside running with attractive parkland. The largely traffic-free setting and level terrain make it easy to maintain a steady pace, while the mix of riverside, canal and open green space provides plenty of variety throughout the circuit.
