Cirencester parkrun

A bus stop is located outside the entrance to the university, served by 54A, 28A, 28B, 54 & 28 services. The nearest train station is Kemble.

The grounds are a 20 minute walk from Cirencester Town Centre up Tetbury Hill and then a short walk along the Stroud Road past Deer Park School and Cirencester College.

From Cirencester, head towards Stroud on the A419. The entrance is on the left (signposted for RAU) after passing Cirencester College & Deer Park School.

Please do not follow the University postcode on Sat Nav as this leads you to the wrong entrance.
The what3words location is: ///geese.tigers.quiz

There is limited free parking on site. Enter from Stroud Road, follow the road round and go through the car park barrier which is open during parkrun. When this carpark is full please use the overflow parking at Cirencester College/Deer Park School 200m west of the RAU carpark.

You must only use the Stroud Road entrance and main carpark in the Royal Agricultural University. All other car parks on site are out of bounds.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: the RAU dining room. Please come and join us!

Cirencester 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.
• 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.
• Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event.
  The only exception to this rule is when accompanied by an assistance dog.
• 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 Cirencester parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
