Aviemore parkrun

The Number 31 bus goes past Dalfaber, please check an up to date timetable to ensure you will arrive with time to spare. From the Railway Station it is a 30 minute brisk walk to the Meeting Point.

If arriving by bike or on foot either follow the directions above or follow the Speyside Way Path which passes the Meeting Point. There are bike stands at Route 7 Cafe; take your own padlock.

The meeting point is in Dalfaber Industrial Estate, just outside the Route 7 Cafe and The Highland Home Centre opposite Screwfix; if using a SatNav the postcode is PH22 1ST, w3w location: ///inferior.impact.chairing.

To reach the start point arrive in Aviemore. If approaching from the North (Inverness) turn off the A9 and follow the road past the “Welcome to Aviemore” sign and and turn left at the traffic lights just beyond the 20 mph limit into Dalfaber Drive and then after 400m immediately after the railway bridge take the left turn signposted to Dalfaber Industrial Estate.

To reach this point from the South (Perth) turn off the A9 and follow the road into town. Continue along the main street and go straight ahead at the roundabout just before the retail park. Approximately 900m after the roundabout you’ll see signs to the Dalfaber Industrial Estate. Turn right. After turning off towards the Dalfaber Industrial Estate follow the road and in about 400m cross a railway bridge and turn immediately left - if you cross the level crossing you’ve gone too far. After turning left follow this road all the way to the end where you’ll find the meeting point.

There is no dedicated car park. Please be considerate of other businesses which are open on Saturday when finding somewhere to park in the industrial estate, there is also nearby parking at the Co-op (left turn before the railway bridge)and at the hospital (right turn after the railway bridge and before the level crossing).

Aviemore 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 Aviemore parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
