Melton Mowbray parkrun

From the train station, make your way up Burton Street, onto Sherrard Street and on to Norman Way where you will find the bottom of Snow Hill (by Halfords). From here, follow the directions as on foot.

The Number 16 bus from St. Mary’s Way (town centre) will drop runners off on Clark Drive. From here there is a three minute walk as you follow Clark Drive to the end, bear left onto Wymondham Way and then right into the park entrance by the Visitors Centre.

From the town centre, enter the Country Park from the top of Snow Hill and bear left around the football pitches. Keep following this path around until you are at the Visitors Centre which is right next to the start-line.

From town centre, head out towards Scalford and turn Right onto Wymondham Way. Follow this to the end and you will enter the main car-park at the Country Park.

There is limited parking on site but we expect this to fill up quickly.

There is a second car park within the park, but this is a 5-10 minute warm up jog through the park to the start. This car park can be found on Willow Drive using postcode LE13 1UA.

Melton Mowbray 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 Melton Mowbray parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
