The course

Course description

This is a 4 lap course consisting of an initial short lap followed by 3 longer laps around the paths and alleyways of Hotham Park and its perimeter. Starting near to Hotham House and the Bandstand, participants follow the pathway past the Boating Lake to a crossroads where they turn right across the miniature railway track. They continue to a sharp bend where they turn right again and head back towards the start to complete the first smaller lap of approximately 700m.
On the subsequent 3 laps they turn left at the crossroads following the path South West running past the Hotham Park cafe and the conservation area and turn right into the wide alleyway that runs parallel to the Park. A short run along the alley and a near 180 degree right turn back into the park brings them back to the crossroads from the opposite direction, where they turn left and head back down to the sharp right turn. On these laps approximately 150metres further on they turn left across the miniature railway tracks followed by a quick right that takes them on the path back to the main Car Park past the Wildforset Falls miniature golf course before joining the main path back to the start area. On the 3rd of these laps you finish on the path to the left of the Hotham Park House and Bell Tower.
The course is completely flat and on well maintained pathways with one slightly narrow section of about 20 metres.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is in Hotham Park, Bognor Regis. The course is run entirely on tarmac paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

Facilities

Toilets, car park (pay and display) and a childrens play area.

Course safety

Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
