Broadmeadow Linear parkrun

Bus: Bus route 41C passes close to the route. Get off the bus at Applewood. Walk as far as the roundabout and turn right, walk down the road named Thornleigh Green, keep going until you reach Broadmeadow Linear Park.

Similar to car and public transport. Allow plenty of time. Also accessible via Jugback Lane, Thornleigh Road, Park Avenue and Miller’s Avenue.

From the M1 heading northbound, take exit 4 and keep left. At the end of the slip road, take the left turn and continue down the dual carriageway until you reach a roundabout. Take the right at this roundabout onto the R125 and continue on until the junction with traffic lights. Turn right and continue on until the next set of traffic lights. Turn left at these lights and continue straight through two roundabouts. Go straight past Castleview and turn right into Miller’s Glen. Continue straight down Longview Avenue (30kph speed limit, residential area) until you enter through the gates to the park. There are plenty of parking spaces here. Walk past the playgrounds and past the lake and you’ll see the start line at the far end of Broadmeadow Linear Park.

Broadmeadow Linear 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 Broadmeadow Linear parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
