Fire Service College parkrun

Train: The Fire Service College is approximately one mile from Moreton-in-Marsh railway station.

Bus: The 801 bus from Moreton to Chipping Norton should stop on request near the main gate.

There is a footpath along the A44 London Road to the main gate. There are cycle racks available at the sports centre.

From Moreton-in-Marsh, take the A44 signposted Oxford and Chipping Norton. The main entrance to the College is on the left after approximately one mile.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: one of the many cafes in Moreton in Marsh. Victoria’s Cafe, Otis and Belle and Lynwood & Co are popular choices with parkrunners. Most weeks, local charity groups run a refreshments table at The Sports Centre. Please support them if you can. Please come and join us!

Fire Service College 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.
• 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 Fire Service College parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
