Homewood parkrun

Chertsey and Addlestone train stations are both 2 miles away. The 446 bus route from Woking stops on Brox Road and the 461 stops at The Otter on Murray Road, both of which are approx. 10minute walk to the Foxhills Road car park. Further information on bus routes and timetables can be found on the Surrey County Council website.

To reach the park on foot, from the Ottershaw roundabout take Foxhills road and follow for approx. 200m to the park car park.

Homewood parkrun is located at Ottershaw Memorial Fields in the village of Ottershaw. It is 2miles from Chertsey, and 1 mile from junction 11 of the M25. From J11 follow A317 towards Woking (A320). Take the first exit at the first roundabout to Guildford Road. At the next roundabout take the third exit onto Chobham Rd followed by an immediate right on to Foxhills Road.

There are two car parks with free parking on Foxhills Road after approx. 200m or 300m on your left for Ottershaw Memorial Fields. The postcode is KT16 0NQ. If parking in the Bowling club car park, please obtain a ticket from the machine for 3 hrs free parking and display in your vehicle. Currently, there is no machine or signage in the playground carpark.

If both of the car parks are full, please park considerately in the local roads, ensuring that access for emergency vehicles and local residents is not restricted. This is particularly important in Wilson Drive, which is narrow and has sharp bends. Tringham Close is a better alternative nearby.

Homewood 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 Homewood parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
