Parking will be strictly at the campsite. Please car share if possible. The car park will open for runners at 8.15am.

There will be an area at the campsite designated for tents and flags. Toilets will also be available at the campsite.

There will be cakes available after the race. However, please bring your own water/cups. There will be a limited supply of water provided.

The course is about 4.4 miles long, and a figure-of-eight circuit. The majority of the course comprises gravel tracks, but there is a short section on grassy tracks that can be very muddy (it was on Friday when checked and there is plenty of rain forecast for this week). There will be plenty of marshalls on the course. Please follow instructions from them at all times. The course map is attached.

The route is also open to the general public, so please be courteous to any others using the tracks, such as dog-walkers, pedestrians and cyclists. As the route is in the forest, there may also be horses and other animals out on the course outside of our control.

Please note that the race start is approximately 15-minutes walk from the car park, so please arrive in good time. There is also a road to cross on the way to the start, so please take care crossing over. There will be marshalls in place at the crossing.

9th November is Remembrance Sunday, so we will be having a minute’s silence before the race start.

As usual, we will be giving out barcode tokens at the finish. Scanning will be done at the race finish, not at the campsite, so please make sure that you have your parkrun barcode with you when you run.

Spectators are very welcome, including their dogs, though please ensure that owners clear up after their dogs.

The car park will be locked at 11.30am. If you wish to remain in the forest after the race, please ensure that your car is moved to another car park.
