Armley parkrun

If travelling from Leeds city centre there are regular buses which stop outside the park including the No.72 and the No. 14. The X6 and X11 also stop nearby.

If walking from the city centre, the canal path runs directly from behind the train station, virtually straight to the park. Look for signs at the station pointing to the access to the canal and walk west for approximately 2 miles. Come off the canal at Canal Bridge on Canal Road. Walk past Armley Mills car park (on your right) and take the first right onto Armley Park Road. Walk to the top of the street where the entrance to Armley Park will be visible. Keep walking straight up the hill to enter the main park. On your left the course start and finish areas will be visible.

If travelling from the north or south, follow the M1 until it joins the M621. If coming from the east or west on the M62, look for signs to pull onto the M621. Follow the M621, then at Junction 2 take the A643 exit. At Elland Rd Interchange take the 3rd exit onto A643. At the next roundabout take the 3rd exit onto A647. Turn right onto Pickering Street. Turn left onto Canal Road. Turn right onto Aviary Road. Turn right onto Armley Lodge Road, which when bears right becomes Armley Park Road. Here you will find on road parking on your left, next to the rear side entrance to the park.
The satnav postcode for Armley Park Road is LS12 2PG.

Armley 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 Armley parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
