Salisbury parkrun

Train: From Salisbury Railway Station, head towards the city centre along Fisherton Street. Just past the Clock Tower, turn right and follow signs to the Cathedral. Once past the Cathedral, exit the Cathedral Close at the southern end via the Harnham Gate and onto De Vaux Place. You will find an entrance to Churchill Gardens near to the Exeter Street Roundabout on the right by going under New Bridge Road. This is a 25 minute walk. Please see the South West Train website.

Bus: The nearest bus stop is by Wiltshire College on the Southampton Road, which is opposite Churchill Gardens. Please see the Salisbury Reds website for timetables.

Churchill Gardens is easy to access by bike or on foot from the town centre via Salisbury Cathedral (follow signs for the Golden Way).

The main car park (postcode for SATNAV SP1 2LW, what3words ///pans.beats.pack) HAS A HEIGHT RESTRICTION of 2.1 metres.

The car park is currently free and is accessible from A36 Southampton Road heading toward Salisbury. We recommend car-sharing where possible as the car park can reach capacity, if there is no space left we suggest parking at the Park & Ride on Southampton Road and walking down to the Gardens (a 10 minute walk).

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: the Kiwi Coffee trailer within the park but when closed due to weather we use Costa Coffee alongside Next Clothing, Dolphin Retail Park, Southampton Road, Salisbury, SP1 2LB. Head out of the main entrance of Churchill Gardens with Wiltshire College opposite and cross the Southampton Road at the traffic lights. Turn right along Southampton Road and once past The Range, take the next left. Costa is on the corner by Next. Parking is available and this is less than a ten minute walk from the finish line. Please come and join us!

Salisbury 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 Salisbury parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
