Alvaston parkrun is free but you must register in advance on the parkrun website. This is a flat course on tarmac and is a creative variant of an 'out and back' route. We start next to the community/café building in the centre of the park completing one and half laps of the grass field ending up at the corner of Lakeside school. From there we then do a long 'out and back' up the Route 6 cycle super-highway turning around near Aldi. Once back at the school there is a second short 'out and back' section in the opposite direction turning around at the end of the park’s lake. You then finish close to where you started back in the centre of the park.
