Description
The Navan parkrun begins approximately 300 yards inside the scenic Blackwater Park, offering a beautiful setting nestled between the Ratholdren Road and the River Blackwater. This engaging 5k course consists of three-and-a-half anticlockwise laps that guide participants past local landmarks, including the ruins of the old Elliott’s furniture factory and views of the Tara Mines. Runners enjoy a consistent surface run entirely on permanent tarmac paths, providing a reliable and smooth experience for athletes of all levels. While the route offers stunning views of Navan Town Centre, it is characterized by a signature slight hill that participants must conquer multiple times before finishing in the elevated green area. This professionally organized event is celebrated for its inclusive community spirit and the refreshing natural backdrop of one of the county’s largest public parks.
