Aberfields parkrun

Bus: From Bridgend catch the 74 bus to Nantymoel and get of at either Wyndham or Price town stop and then walk from there to the field.

From most areas of Bridgend you can join the Ogmore Valley community route all the way to the start.

From Blackmill it’s approximately 4 miles, Brynmenyn 7 miles and Wildmill 9 miles.

If local to the Ogmore Valley you can join the community route from many parts and is no more that 2 miles walking from the furthest part of Ogmore Vale.

If using a SatNav the nearest postcode to the field is CF32 7SR. This will take you to Aber Road

From the Bwlch mountain follow signs to Nantymoel and you will see the fields on your right hand side if you drive towards Bridgend.

From the M4 get off at junction 36 for Sarn and follow signs to Nantymoel/Ogmore Vale.

The car park is very small and fills up quickly. You may become blocked in.
Important Please do not park on the hill leading to the car park, this makes it difficult for buses to park. Please respect other road users and park considerately and legally.

Aberfields parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:

• Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
• Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
• Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
• We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
• Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
• Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
• Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
• If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
• If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
• It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
• Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. Consider protecting yourself by wearing repellent when at parkrun events in grassy or wooded areas. See lymediseaseuk.com for further details.
• You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
• parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Aberfields parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
