The course
Course description
This is a 1 lap course. Starting to the right of the main building, the course first does a clockwise loop of the small field. It then turns left and heads up the hill for approx. 600m. At the top of the hill, turn left and cross a concrete path, continue straight ahead for approx. 700m along an undulating track and then turn right at the next path. Continue until the path bends left down a steep short hill and then follow the path around to the left and head back towards Denbies where you will be treated to stunning views across the vineyard and to Box Hill. At the junction follow the main path, again crossing the concrete path and then turn right, re-joining the outward route where you will return to the field for the finishing straight.
The course is undulating with the first half being mainly uphill and the second half downhill. Much of the track is reasonably narrow due to the path being between hedgerows and the vines. Please do not run between the vines and take care to avoid the metal wires at the end of each vine.
The course may not be appropriate for pushchairs, buggies, and prams, please contact the team in advance to discuss its suitability.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Denbies Wine Estate, Dorking. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths, gravel paths, track and grass. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.
Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.
Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.
Facilities
Toilets are available in the main Denbies Vineyard building from 09:00.

Course safety
Mole Valley 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.
- 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.
We hope these tips help to ensure that Mole Valley parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
