When you say that you did the run do I presume that you mean the Hameldon Hill Run? I did this in 1988 and we started near to the bottom of Avenue Parade. We ran up it towards the bottom of the Coppice where we followed the path to the left, running around and up the hill in a clockwise direction until we were heading southeast towards the A56. Left under the underpass and then followed the track generally eastwards and north of Moleside End Farm to the King's Highway where we joined it and headed southeast (to the right). We ran around the reservoir in an anti-clockwise direction until we were level with the northern tip of it where we turned half right and up the steep bit to the summit of Hameldon. Hope that this helps and if it doesn't - blame my cats!
