Ancholme Valley Way parkrun

Bus: The bus from Scunthorpe (Hornsby Bus and Coach) departs from Scunthorpe bus station at 7.30 am getting in to Brigg at 8.15. The ‘Just Go ‘ North Lincs bus can be booked on demand, please visit www.justgonorthlincs.co.uk

Train: There is a train station in Brigg but no service is early enough to get you into Brigg for parkrun.

Ancholme Valley Way parkrun is situated in the centre of Brigg and a short walk from the main car park and pedestrianised shopping area on Wrawby Street. Follow the same directions from the main car park. Post Code DN20 8NP. What3words///climbing.splendid.ambushes

Arriving via the M180, from the west leave at junction 4, Forest Pines, and pick up the A18 towards Brigg. You will see the parkrun start/finish as you drive over the River Ancholme. Take the 2nd exit from the Lidl roundabout and then turn right at the second set of traffic lights onto Old Courts Road, DN20 8JD.

From the east or from the A15 humber bridge exit at Barnetby Top, junction 5 take the A18 via Wrawby into Brigg and at the Monument roundabout take the third exit following the A18 into the town centre, turning left at the traffic lights onto Old Courts Road.

The main town car parking for Brigg is in the centre of the town at Old Courts Road. It is free all day on Saturdays. There is plenty of room but on farmer’s market days which are on the fourth Saturday of every month, it could be busier. It is then a short walk past Wilko’s, Tesco’s and B&M down to the Ancholme River Bank. Alternatively join the main pedestrianised area of town on Wrawby Street and walk due west towards the bridge over the Ancholme where you join the River Ancholme Way. Charging points are available in the small Angel Car Park off Cadney Road.

Ancholme Valley Way 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 Ancholme Valley Way parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
