Hunstanton Promenade parkrun

Bus: Regular buses (numbers 34/35/36) from King’s Lynn bus station to Hunstanton via local villages of Dersingham and Snettisham and take approx. 55 minutes. They run approx. every 30 minutes with the no 34 bus leaving King’s Lynn on a Saturday morning at 7:45am and arriving in Hunstanton at 8:41am.

The Coastliner (no36) bus also runs from Wells-next-to-Sea to Hunstanton with a bus leaving Wells at 7:35am and arriving at 8:35am. For up to date information please visit the Lynx Bus website.

From the bus station it's a 5-minute walk. Turning left out of the bus station, walk towards the Green with Golden Lion hotel to your right. Carry on walking on Cliff Parade past the bowling green on your left and you will then see the Salad Bowl Cafe to your left where we gather for the start of the summer course.

Hunstanton is a traditional seaside town located in North West Norfolk and is approximately a 25-minute (16 miles) drive from King’s Lynn on the A149; and a 25-30-minute (19 miles) drive from Fakenham on the B1454 and A148 and then a further 50 minutes (35 miles) from the city of Norwich (A1270 and A1067). North of Hunstanton the A149 leads to Wells-Next-The-Sea which is approximately 30 minutes and 17 miles from Hunstanton.

Hunstanton Sailing Club is a short 5-minute walk from the centre/High Street and either on-street or pay car parking. A good landmark is the amusement arcade on the Green. The parkrun postcode is PE36 6GB although as it is a relatively new postcode your satnav may not recognise this. If so, please use PE36 6BQ. Hunstanton has numerous pay and display car parks within a short walking distance of the sailing club. Full details can be located at the West Norfolk Council's website.

Please note we request that in order to keep the immediate area close to the start and finish clear/accessible to all, participants do not park at the North Prom/Esplanade Gardens car park unless they have specific mobility/additional needs.

Hunstanton 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 Hunstanton Promenade parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
