Edenbrook Country parkrun

Train: The nearest train station is Fleet, a 2.4 mile walk away. For walk directions from the station, please use the postcode GU51 5DW.

Approx 1.2 miles from Fleet town Centre (Fleet Road), walk heading towards The Oatsheaf public house and turn right down Reading Road North. At the bottom of the hill take the first left and walk through Calthorpe Park. Proceed out the other end of the park and cross over Merivale then follow the signs to the leisure centre. You will cross over Hitches Lane and see the leisure centre in front of you.

If travelling by car the postcode is GU51 5JA. Parking is at Calthorpe Park School. The start is outside the leisure centre entrance which is just across the road from the school

Parking:

• Please do NOT park in Hart Leisure Centre under any circumstances as the leisure centre is very busy on Saturday mornings. Parking at the leisure centre will put the future of this event at risk.
• Parking is available at Calthorpe Park secondary school (GU51 5JA) on the opposite side of Hitches Lane. Please follow car parking signs/marshals.
• Edenbrook Country parkrun has limited parking available, therefore please walk, run or bike to parkrun if possible.
• We politely request that parkrunners do not park on any of the residential roads nearby under any circumstances.
• Ignoring this request risks the goodwill of our neighbours and the future of Edenbrook Country parkrun. There are also restrictions on many of the roads and you may be issued a parking ticket.
• An overflow car park is available at the De Havilland Arms public house on Elvetham Heath (The Key, Elvetham Heath, Fleet GU51 1HA), situated around 0.75 miles run/walk to the start area.

Edenbrook Country 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 Edenbrook Country parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
