Kesgrave parkrun

Bus Routes are all run by First Group buses. Two bus routes travel through Grange Farm.
Bus no.66 travels around Century Drive, and you should alight from the bus at the stop next to Battles Lane. You can then walk down Century Drive to Millennium Field.
Bus route no.64 takes you to within a mile of the start. Alight at the stop nearest Stewart Young Grove, travel round Ropes Drive to Century Drive and towards Millennium Field.

You can walk to Kesgrave using the extensive cycle/footpath network within the town. Walking or cycling down Century Drive will take you to Millennium Field. There are also many bridle paths leading from Martlesham that will bring you on a more scenic route.

If driving from Ipswich town centre, drive along the A1214 signposted towards Woodbridge. Pass Kesgrave High School on your left, then at the next roundabout take 3rd exit signposted Ropes Drive East.

If driving from Woodbridge, from the A12, take the A1214 signposted Grange Farm/Kesgrave/Ipswich. At the first roundabout, take first exit, signposted Grange Farm and Ropes Drive East.
Continue to next roundabout. Take 4th exit for Car Park 2 (Saint Isodores) at the Farmhouse pub, this is half mile from the start. Take 3rd exit at the roundabout, then 2nd left on to Century Drive. Take 2nd left on to Millennium Way and Car Park 1 is in front of you.

Please be considerate with parking. This is a community event and we don’t want to cause any issues with the local residents that may prevent the run taking place.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: facilities at the Millennium Sports Field. Please come and join us!

Kesgrave 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 Kesgrave parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
