The course

Course description

After 3 full anticlockwise laps of the main field, the route passes through the underpass under the M25, where a further 3 clockwise laps of the smaller field are undertaken. Once completed, pass back through the underpass, and complete a further lap and a half of the main field to finish by the leisure centre. Please keep left at all times on the course.

Double buggies are not permitted on this course. Single buggies are permitted however, due to the number of laps and runners of different speeds sharing the path, the course may be harder for people with buggies & pushchairs.

Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Egham Orbit, Egham. The course is run on a mixture of grass and permanent 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, cafe, bicycle racks. Swimming on a pay basis is available at the leisure centre.

More details

Public transport

Bus: Regular buses also stop at Mullens Road (a 5 min walk) from Staines Station, bus route 411.

Train: Egham train station is a 10 minute walk from the Egham Orbit.

On foot

Egham Orbit can be accessed by foot from Vicarage Road. It can also be accessed via the underpass from Mowbray Crescent and Quincy Road.

By road

The Egham Orbit is located on Vicarage Road, Egham. If coming from the M25 southbound, exit at Junction 13 and follow the A30 for 2 miles. At the roundabout, turn left onto the B388 and at the next mini roundabout, go left, under the M25 and the Egham Orbit can be found on your right hand side after 300m. There is a level crossing in close proximity to the leisure centre that can close for up to 10 minutes at a time. Please factor this into your arrival time.

Please follow the signs/marshals to park in the overflow car park at the far end of the parking area. Please do not park in the leisure centre's main car park as this is needed for leisure centre users. Failure to adhere to this risks landowner permission being revoked.

Coffee

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: the Egham Orbit Cafe. Please come and join us!

Course safety

Egham Orbit 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.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Egham Orbit parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
