Location: Barrow, Westmorland and Furness

The Barrow parkrun course is over two and a half laps on mainly tarmac paths. The course is gently undulating, with the climb towards the Cenotaph providing the main elevation change before returning through the park. The mix of open parkland, mature trees and formal gardens gives the course plenty of variety, while the paved surface makes it suitable for runners looking for a consistent, all-weather route.
