Henlow Bridge Lakes parkrun is a 15 minute walk from surrounding villages and can be accessed via Arlesey Road. Please take care when crossing the road.

We are situated on the A507 between Henlow and Arlesey railway station, 5 minutes from junction 10 on the A1(M). Our postcode is SG16 6DD.

From Arlesey, Stotfold and the A1(M), travel west over the Arlesey railway bridge and continue on the A507 Henlow Village roundabout approximately 500 metres. Turn back towards the Arlesey bridge. Drivers from Bedford, M1, Ampthill, Shefford and Clifton should continue east over the roundabout towards Stotfold/Arlesey and the A1(M).

From the Henlow roundabout, 300 metres on your left, you will pass the entrance to Henlow Aggregates Depot. Start indicating a left turn. 150 metres further on your left-hand side you will reach a slip road (signposted to the railway station) which also takes you to our site entrance, the second gate on the left before you reach the station.

Please park in the Arlesey & Henlow Station car park which is a 5 minutes walk to the start. The car park entrance is just past the Henlow Bridge Lakes gate, under the bridge. Parking charges will apply - please visit www.britpark.com for further details. Please note there is no onsite parking.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: the covered outside seating area. Hot and cold drinks and snacks are available from the campsite shop. Please come and join us!

Henlow Bridge Lakes 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 Henlow Bridge Lakes parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
