The course
Course description
The course has been created on virgin agricultural land as part of the new Brundall Countryside Park. It follows wide grass tracks around and through a plantation of 2000 trees that, on maturity, will form a community woodland. It circles round the edge of a new apple orchard and 5 acres of hedged-in allotments. It has been designed primarily to encourage local people to discover the joys of parkrunning. The course is compact and gently undulating through four laps.
The course starts in an open area near the car park at the northern edge of the Park. It heads in a clockwise direction to the south eastern corner and then follows the railway track until runners turn right keeping to the eastern edge of Central Avenue. Towards the top, they take a sharp turn down the right-hand side of The Ride between two areas of woodland. At the bottom they make a 180-degree turn and come back up the northerly edge of The Ride. At the top runners turn sharp left back onto Central Avenue, running downhill along the western edge with the allotments on their right. At the bottom they turn right, following the railway line again until, in the south western corner they follow the allotment fence up a challenging incline (known as ‘The Travelator’) under mature trees. Turning right at the top, it is a gentle downhill all the way back to the start along the northern and eastern edges of the Park. On the last lap, runners, as they pass the gate to the allotments, are directed to the finish in an open area at the top of Central Avenue.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is in Countryside Park, Brundall. The course is run entirely on grass. 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
There is a toilet on site located just inside the allotment area and there is disabled access to it.
There are 50 car parking spaces available at the Countryside Park, which should be adequate for most occasions. On days when we expect a large number of visiting parkrunners, we ask that people use alternative parking at The Ram Inn, which is a 5-10 minute walk from the park. The address for The Ram is 108 The Street, Brundall, NR13 5LP. To then get to the park turn right out of the Ram and where the main road bends to the right take the left fork marked Postwick Lane. The park can be found on the left hand side of the road after approximately 500 metres.
Alternatively, please park safely on the roadside within the main body of the village. There is no roadside parking in the immediate vicinity of the Countryside Park, and the two cul-de-sacs nearby (West End Avenue and Laurel Drive) are private roads and should not be entered. Do not park on the road outside the park.
Children are welcome on site.
Dogs should be kept on leads, but are welcome - please use the red bin for waste disposal.

Course safety
Brundall 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 Brundall parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
