Pocket parkrun

Train: Pocket Park is a 2.5km walk from St Neots railway station. Leaving the station from the St Neots side, head left down station road for 200m, turn right into Cambridge Street and then immediately left into Cromwell Road. You will eventually reach a large roundabout on which the One Leisure centre is prominently located. Take the small path alongside the leisure centre which is signposted towards Willow Bridge.
Bus: There are no bus routes that operate early on a Saturday morning.
Taxi: There is a taxi rank and office at St Neots railway station.

The course is easily accessible from St Neots town centre (1.6 km), Eynesbury (0.6 km), and Eaton Socon (2km across the Willow Bridge), by following signposts to Ernulf / Willow Bridge. Part of the course is along the Ouse Valley Way which is a well signposted 230 km walking route that follows the route of the Great River Ouse. National Cycle Route 51 leads directly to the start finish area.

Pocket parkrun is located just off the A1 in the Eynesbury area of St Neots. SatNav users should use PE19 2SA as the postcode.
Leaving the A1 at the Wyboston exit (sign-posted for St Neots and Cambridge), head along the A428 until you reach a roundabout next to a large Tesco. You should take the first exit at this roundabout onto Barford Road / B1043 until you reach the One Leisure centre, which is on the left hand side of the road. From Cambridge you should head west along the A428 towards Bedford and St Neots until you reach the B1043 / Barford Road. There is ample free parking at One Leisure St Neots, which is a five minute walk from the start.

Pocket 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 Pocket parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
