Interesting information, all my runs are ran clockwise in the parks and places I run, however, just thinking that the two parkruns that I have run and got PB's are run anti clockwise.
Some of my courses are clockwise and some are anticlockwise. I'd never even thought about it before. Mine are selected on terrain and distance, and the usual desire to start from a high point and gradually lose elevation over the course of the run (even though there may be other hills in the run).
We once had a similar discussion because I thought that most parkruns were clockwise. Until we reviewed all the tourist ones we had done and they were a complete mixture, including a zigzag one
Thinking about it my standard route is clockwise, but I often put in loops to make it longer at the weekend and these are often anti-clockwise. And generally speaking the terrain sets the course for me, especially in a new area.
