Concord parkrun, Sheffield

From Sheffield City centre the 47 and 48 buses run approximately every 20 minutes and drop off next to the main footpath park entrance on the corner of Shiregreen Lane and Bellhouse Road. For further information visittravelsouthyorksire.com.

The Park is only a short distance away from the Northern General Hospital. From the Northern General Hospital follow Barnsley Road in a northerly direction to the first crossroads and turn right onto Hatfield House Lane. Continue on Hatfield House Lane straight ahead through two sets of crossroads. 25m after the second crossroad, there is the main footpath entrance into the south west side of the park. The start is next to the children's play area approximately 100m straight ahead.

The Park lies close to the A6135 Barnsley Road and the Nothern General Hospital. The A6135 can be accessed via junction 35 on the M1 if travelling from the north or by following the A & E signposts from Meadowhall (M1 junction 34) or the Sheffield Wednesday football ground at Hillsborough. At arrival at the Northern General Hospital on the A6135 Barnsley Road, proceed in a northerly direction to the crossroads and turn right onto Hatfield House Lane, after crossing two more crossroads the park is situated on the left. Parking is available behind Concorde Sports Centre. Please ensure when parking behind the centre that the car park to the left is used as this is a council owned car park. Car parking is free and disabled parking is available. For those of you lucky enough to have satnav the post code for the centre is S5 6AE.

Concord parkrun, Sheffield 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 Concord parkrun, Sheffield is fun and safe for everyone.
