Lutterworth Country Park junior parkrun

There are no local bus services operating to/from Lutterworth town centre on a Sunday. The town centre is approximately 1.5miles walk from Lutterworth Country Park.

The course can accessed on foot off Brookfield Way accessing the country park via the small wooden gated pedestrian entrances. Brookfield Way is accessed via Coventry Road.

If parking at the Red Arrow car park, turn right as you leave the car park, and walk towards Coventry Road. Turn left onto Coventry Road and keep walking until you reach the roundabout. Turn right onto Brookfield Way staying on the pavement on the left-hand side. The country park will be on your left, opposite Lilac Drive.

If coming from Lutterworth Leisure Centre/town centre, please follow Coventry Road onto Brookfield Way as above.

Please take care when walking along the roads to the country park.

If using SATNAV, the nearest postcode is LE17 4GP.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON LILAC DRIVE.

From Lutterworth town centre, follow Coventry Road past the leisure centre (on your right) and the Red Arrow pub (on your left) until you reach the mini-roundabout just after the pub. Turn right onto Brookfield Way. The country park is on the left hand side, opposite the second turning into Lilac Drive.

We would encourage you to park at the Red Arrow pub on Coventry Road, LE17 4QF or Lutterworth Leisure Centre, Coventry Road, LE17 4RB. Both are a short 10 minute walk to the country park. There is very limited parking at the country park which fills up early and we ask that you do not park on Lilac Drive or other local residential streets.

Lutterworth Country Park junior parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. To make the event as safe as possible, participants, spectators and volunteers are asked to take note of the following rules and guidelines:

• Whilst parkrun fully accepts its duty of care and will do everything it can to minimise risk of injury and harm to all participants whilst at parkrun events, it is parent/guardians who ultimately have responsibility for the welfare of their children.
• It is not mandatory for a parent/guardian to participate in junior parkruns, but children under the age of 11 must be accompanied to/from the event by a responsible adult, and the responsible adult must remain in attendance for the duration of the event.
• junior events are open and inclusive. Disabled people may participate wherever it is safe for them to do so. The event team can provide disabled participants with course information in order that the participant (or their parent/guardian) can make an informed decision about their safe participation.
• Whilst more competitive children can use junior parkruns to test themselves against their own time, and against others, participation should ultimately be for fun, and we urge all parents/guardians/volunteers not to put children under undue pressure to perform.
• junior parkruns are running, jogging and walking events, and the use of children’s scooters, balance bikes, trikes or cycles is prohibited.
• Slower runners are encouraged to seed themselves, by starting towards the back of the group especially if an adult is accompanying them.
• junior parkruns are timed events. Only those aged between 4 to 14 years old completing the course themselves will be given a result. ​
• Exceptions to this rule are subject to the discretion of parkrun head office. Examples include those over 14 with special educational needs (SEN) or those with a registered disability, for whom social interaction and physical activity may be difficult but important.
• A strict ‘no barcode no result’ policy will be enforced.
• Buggies are allowed, subject to course conditions, but only if the adult pushing the buggy is accompanying a junior parkrunner. Adults with buggies are urged to position themselves appropriately for the safety and enjoyment of all.
• With the exception of assistance dogs, dogs are not allowed to accompany walkers, joggers, runners or volunteers at junior parkrun events.
• 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.
• Spectators should keep clear of participants on the course and keep control of any children and dogs.
• Participants should take care near roads and car parks, congregate away from the cars and be careful if driving to/from the event.
• Photography or filming is likely to take place at junior parkrun events. Please see our photos page for more details.
• 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.
