Millennium Green junior parkrun

Bus: The S6 bus operates between Oxford and Swindon via Faringdon and Kingston Bagpuize and Southmoor. Get off at the bus stop as you enter the village and walk down to the memorial stones and down the Oxford Road to the Millennium Green gates.

Visitors arriving on foot should make their way to the Co-op at the bottom end of Kingston Bagpuize and Southmoor villages. Follow the road along to the memorial stones just opposite the church and turn left into the old Oxford Road. Walk down the road and enter the Green through the gates on the right hand side.

If using Satnav then either enter Kingston Bagpuize Millennium Green or use the postcode OX13 5FZ.

From the A420 at the first roundabout in the village, take the first exit and go past the Co-op supermarket on your left. Turn left into the Oxford Road, follow the road round to the right and then left and park along the right hand side only of the road and walk down to the gates to Millennium Green entrance on your right. This is roadside parking but is a residential area so please be respectful of other people’s drives if you need to travel by car.

If you are travelling on the A415 heading north, go past Millets Farm on your left for another mile. As you enter the village of Kingston Bagpuize, you will pass Kingston Bagpuize House on your left and then turn right into Oxford Road just after the memorial stones. Follow the parking instructions above.

Millennium Green 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.
