The course
Course description
The parkrun follows a simple point-to-point route along the banks of the river Conwy, with one short diversion towards Conwy Castle on the outward section of the course. It is mostly flat, only climbing when it crosses the railway line over a pedestrian bridge. The paths used for the parkrun are gravel/tarmac throughout. There is a narrow section with restricted visibility as you cross the railway bridge so please be aware of other path users at this point.
The route starts at the RSBP end of the path running between the RSBP Nature Reserve and the railway bridge (w3w ///husband.drummers.butterfly). It takes in a clockwise loop of the Conwy Cob before heading out towards Deganwy. The route returns from Deganwy over the railway bridge (without going around the Cob) back to the starting point.
The route is pushchair and wheelchair friendly, although it may be a bit bumpy on the gravel sections! Pushchairs please position yourself appropriately at the start and take care of participants around you. Not recommended for double buggies due to the narrow sections of the course.
Dogs are most welcome at Conwy parkrun, and the course surface is suitable for them to run safely.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at the RSBP Nature Reserve, Llandudno Junction. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths and gravel 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: Located on the harbour in Conwy about 1/2KM from the start - w3w: ///dripped.quaking.exits. There are no toilets closer to the start.

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