Quakers Walk parkrun

Devizes doesn't have a train station and bus times to Quakers Walk are not conducive for arriving in time for the event start.

From the Wharf car park walk east along the canal, after a few minutes walk Quakers Walk will be on your left over the bridge.

From the Market Place car park, turn right down Snuff Street, cross straight over the A361 until you reach the canal. Head east and after a few minutes walk Quakers Walk will be on your left over the bridge. The start is just the other side of the large iron gates.

From the M4 Junction 15, follow the A346 to Marlborough. Take the A4 then at Beckhampton follow the A361 to Devizes. Go past the Wiltshire Police HQ and before you get to the canal turn right into the Devizes Sports Club. The gravelled area on the left is signposted as parkrun car parking. To get to the start, walk back to the main road, keeping on the path on the right hand side, walk over the canal bridge and turn right alongside the canal. Then take your first turning right at the start is the other side of the big gates.

Quakers Walk 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 Quakers Walk parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
