Guernsey parkrun

Take the Number 12 Bus to Pembroke Bay from the St Peter Port terminus (journey time estimated as 26 minutes). Please visit buses.gg for timetable information.

The run starts on the footpath to the East of the main Pembroke Bay car parks. Please refer to Perry's Guide for route information.

Travel north along Route Militaire, passing Vale Parish Church car park on the left. Continue along L'Ancresse Road and La Jaonneuse Road until you reach the car parking areas at Pembroke Bay, post code GY3 5BY.

Please refer to Perry's Guide for detailed information from your location. Take care near roads and car parks. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you are driving to the run, please drive carefully even if you are late!
Please note that it is an offense to park on the Common and anyone who does so will be fined.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: The Beach House. Please come and join us!

Guernsey 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.
• 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.
• Our course is marked with directional arrows to guide you; please be alert for these as there are several turns. Please read the course description carefully. In addition, marshals will be out on the course when available, to assist and direct you. They are there to ensure your safety so please pay close attention to their instructions.
• Caterpillars of the brown-tailed moth are present in coastal areas, particularly in May and June and can cause skin irritation if hairs from the caterpillars come into contact with skin. The area is treated regularly to keep the caterpillar population at bay, but please seek medical advice if you notice a skin rash.
• We share the Common on a Saturday with the Guernsey Rifle Club and other rifle range users. Red flags will be flying when the range is in use. Our course has been approved by the club; it does not encroach on any restricted area and is absolutely safe for participants. Do not be alarmed if you hear rifle shots during the event.
• A short section at the start/finish of our course runs adjacent to L’Ancresse golf course. Please be alert for golfers on the course shouting "fore" as there is a possibility a wayward golf ball may carry across the Common close to the public footpath.
• When running, take care on uneven surfaces, whether on grass or on footpaths. Watch out for cyclists, other runners, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, vehicles, maintenance work, pebbles, rabbit holes, brambles, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
• Unfortunately, our course is not suitable for runners pushing buggies or wheel chair users as some sections are narrow and are over uneven terrain.

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