The course
Course description
The course is a simple clockwise out and back, course using the Hampshire County Council Easy Access Trail.
From the start outside Cams Mill pub follow the path south adjacent to the private road. Stay to the right of the marker posts - do not run on the road.
After 360m turn to the right and follow the gravel track (Fareham Creek Trail). This track stops 50m from the turn point and becomes a rough unmade path. There is a marshal at the turn point. On the return leg keep to the left until the track again runs adjacent to the private road - do not run on the road. The course then gently slopes down to the finish line which is on a grassy area to the left of the path.
Due to the narrowness of parts of the course runners with dogs or buggies need to take special care as it is single file in some parts of the course and the turn around point is particularly narrow.
Please remember to keep left at all times.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Cams Hall Estate, Fareham. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths, rough trail paths and grass. 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
No toilets are available before the event. Toilets will be available after the event only in the Cams Mill pub. Muddy shoes will not be permitted indoors, please remove them and leave them outside.
Please do not abuse their hospitality as we are reliant on their goodwill for the parkrun start and finish.

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