Maidenhead parkrun

Bus: Courtney Buses and First operate bus services that pass by Braywick Park.

Train: There are frequent trains to Maidenhead from Oxford, Reading and London Paddington.

Maidenhead parkrun is a 10 minute walk from the mainline train station. Head south under along the A308 and once under the railway bridge please use the pedestrian crossing to get to the east side of the road to avoid having to cross the dual carriageway where it is unsafe to do so.

From the M4: Take junction 8/9 to the A308(M). At the roundabout, take the first exit. In approximately 500m, merge into the right-hand lane to cross the dual carriageway into Braywick Park.

From Maidenhead town centre: Head south out of Maidenhead, past the train station and under the railway bridge. Take the second exit and continue along the A308 for approximately 500m before turning left into Braywick Park.

Parking: Please park in the main leisure centre car parks that you can see on your right as you enter Braywick Park. The leisure centre (w3w: ///taxi.gladiators.nest) is at the far end of the car park. Other car parks are for permit holders only. Parking is payable via the RingGo app (location 37591) or at pay and display machines.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: Stafferton Lodge (w3w: ///sculpture.skips.marble). There is also a café in Braywick Leisure Centre. Please come and join us!

Maidenhead 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 Maidenhead parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
