The course
Course description
The course starts behind the Clubhouse, next to the squash courts and goes up to and around the putting green at the top of the course, then back down towards the Clubhouse where it turns right and goes up to the elevated tee. Go down the steep paved path towards the Clubhouse, then turn right and continue down the western side of the golf course until a track leading off to the right is reached. Follow this track through the dune forest and then turn slightly right towards the tee box on the hill in front. Before reaching this tee, the parkrun course turns left, goes down the paved path then turns right onto the fairway. Stay on the western perimeter of the golf course and continue down towards the sea. At the bottom exit the golf course through the cattle gate and turn right onto the coastal road to the lighthouse.
Shortly after passing “Wacky Point” (a white building with colourful artwork), there is a “turnaround” sign. Turn around here and follow the road back past the exit point from the golf course and the “Whispering Waves” resort on the left.
Continue to the tar road, cross over and re-enter the golf course through the eastern gate. Stay on the eastern perimeter, heading up “Heartbreak Hill” until the top of the course is reached.
Turn left to return to the Clubhouse across the Main Road. Follow the path between the Clubhouse and the squash courts, with a slight left turn at the golf cart garages, past which the course turns left towards the finish in front of the Clubhouse.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Kei Mouth Country Club, Kei Mouth. The course is run entirely on trail paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.
Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.
Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.
Facilities
Shower and toilet facilities are available.

Course safety
Kei Mouth 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.
- 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 Kei Mouth parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
