Hove Promenade parkrun

Buses 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 5, 5A, 5B, 6, 21, 25, 49, 60 & 700 all serve Western Road, five minutes walk north of Hove Lawns. See the Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company website for further details.
The nearest train station is Hove which is approximately 1 mile away. Brighton Train Station is approximately 1.5 miles away.

The promenade is approximately 15 minutes walk (west) from the Brighton (Palace) Pier and 10 minutes walk from Hove Town Hall.

There is often significant traffic congestion on the roads in this vicinity, parking is notoriously expensive and traffic wardens are ever vigilant so we try to discourage driving to this event.

From the north/east/west, the promenade is located on the main seafront parallel to Kingsway (A259) near the Brighton/Hove border. The Lawns Café as well as the start/finish point are located on the promenade between the beach and Hove Lawns opposite the intersection with Kingsway and First Avenue.

For Sat Nav users, BN3 2FR is the postcode for the Lawns Café.

There is disabled parking and limited pay and display parking along Kingsway (the A259 road that runs parallel to the seafront) plus there are car parks at Regency Square (BN1 2FG), King Alfred Leisure Centre (BN3 2WW) and Norton Road Car Park opposite Hove Town Hall (BN3 3BE) all of which are approximately 10 minutes walk away from the start/finish point. Further parking information, including up-to-date tariffs, can be found on the Brighton & Hove City Council website.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: The Lawns Café, Hove Lawns (directly opposite intersection with Kingsway and First Avenue). Please note, this venue has outdoor seating only. Please come and join us!

Hove Promenade 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 Hove Promenade parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
