Aylesbury parkrun

Bus: A map of local bus services can be found here. Orange route ‘3’ and Blue Route ‘1’ run via the Community Centre.

Train: Aylesbury National Rail station is 1.5 miles from the Community Centre, which is a 30 minute walk.
Coming to Aylesbury Vale Parkway National Rail station is not advised, as the walk to the start is alongside a busy ‘A’ road.

The start can be reached on easily on foot or by bike via Meadowcroft, Brunswick Close and Lay Road. The cycle paths used on the course also link up with the A413.

If travelling from the west, take the A41 towards Aylesbury. This becomes Bicester Road as you approach the town. Turn left into Meadowcroft. Just after you pass Brunswick Close (on your left), turn left into the car park.

If travelling from the east, stay on the A41, and turn right onto Meadowcroft. Then follow the same directions as above.

Coming from the north (A413 or A418), turn right onto Weedon Road (A4157) and then turn right into Meadowcroft. After 800 metres, the car park will be on your right.

The sat nav coordinates for the car park are HP19 9HH.

Please Note: The Community Centre has parking restrictions in place and should not be used for parking when attending parkrun. Fines will be imposed if you park there and are not using the Community Centre, signage is in place regarding this.

Limited parking is available in the car park opposite the Community Centre. There are height barriers on the car park. Maximum height is 2.2 metres. Please allow extra time to find somewhere to park and be considerate to our local residents. This applies no matter which course we are using.

You may wish to consider parking at Tesco or Broadfields Retail park, please be aware of the parking restrictions to avoid fines. There are several shops within Broadfields that have a cafe for afterwards that you may wish to consider visiting.

Aylesbury 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 Aylesbury parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
