Sandhurst Memorial parkrun

Train: We have two local train stations Blackwater or Sandhurst.

• From Blackwater it is a walk along the road to the carpark above then along the river to the start or there is a footpath along the river to the start, this can be accessed from the road leading from the station which is on the Meadows roundabout.
• From Sandhurst it is a 10 minute walk along Sandhurst High Street.

For those arriving on foot, head for the main park and buildings then the start is situated along the path towards the ponds and is clearly signposted. Access to this area is available through the park and along the river from Blackwater side, Yateley side as well as the Sandhurst side.

Sandhurst is nestled in the corner of Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey with easy access from the M3 & M4.
From the M3 (junction 4 - 3.4 miles), from the M4 (junction 10 - 5.8 miles) - for both please follow the below car park postcode.

There is limited parking in the main car park, there are other car parks close by. As the park is used for football at the weekends we would encourage parking at Shepherd Meadow car park GU47 0FL (w3w: ///confused.qualified.downfield). From here it is a 10 minute walk though the Shepherd Meadow Nature Reserve, please email if you would like further instructions. Parking is free in all surrounding car parks. Please walk, cycle or jog if possible. Bikes can be left at the start/finish area.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: the Sandhurst Park Cafe. Please come and join us!

Sandhurst Memorial 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.
• Parts of the course may be unsuitable for buggies. Please contact the team in advance to discuss this further.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Sandhurst Memorial parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
