Alexandra Recreation Ground path

Post by runnerbean »

Hi

I am a very novice runner, and as a female, I am looking for somewhere nice, compact and local to run. Does anybody know how long the path in Alexandra park is? It looks around the same size as a 400m running track but I'm guessing it's not. I spend a lot of time in the park on sunny days and have found it safe, and I will not be running in the dark. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for that speedy reply bensonby... I actually thought it looked smaller than 400m. Well I never...! Brilliant.

just to make sure I've done it properly go to maps.google.co.uk, click on "my maps" select "measuring tool and then click points around the length of the path.....see if you get the same result as me :)
