Gibraltar Botanical Gardens parkrun

Bus: Take bus number 2 from Market Place Terminus near Casemates Square. The parkrun stop is at the Rock Hotel on Europa Road. Walk down the hill from the bus stop and turn left into the gardens’ pedestrian entrance gate, and the start line is just inside.

Walk along Europa Road to the pedestrian gate to the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens, which is opposite the Rock Hotel entrance, slightly further up the hill. The start line is just inside this entrance gate to the gardens.

Drive to the cable car carpark entrance on Red Sands Road. Turn left into the car park, then drive straight ahead up the hill to the furthest section of the car park by the trees, where the pay and display spaces are located. Avoid other spaces as they are permit-only. Walk to the gardens’ entrance gate, go up the steps and follow the paths and steps up the hill through the gardens to the start line near the Europa Road entrance gate.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: the Fire Station Cafe, Red Sands Road. Please come and join us!

Gibraltar Botanical Gardens 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 Gibraltar Botanical Gardens parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
