Cootehill

The Cootehill parkrun begins and ends at the historic Halton’s Gate Lodge within the scenic Halton’s Amenity Park. This engaging 5k course consists of a 2.5km loop completed twice, guiding participants along the picturesque east and west banks of the Dromore River. Runners experience a unique journey that crosses a footbridge between County Cavan and County Monaghan, passing local landmarks like Dartry Avenue and the lush forest lanes. The terrain features a varied mixture of tarmac, gravel, and woodland trail paths, offering a refreshing and immersive nature experience. While the route includes a gentle hill and some forest undulations, it is largely known for its smooth riverside stretches and stunning broadleaf forest views. This professionally organized community event provides a high-spirited atmosphere in a wonderful family-friendly outdoor setting.
