Stonehaven parkrun

The nearest bus stops are at Cowie Bridge outside Baird Park on the B979. All Aberdeen-Stonehaven buses will stop here including the X7 coastrider.

Train: The nearest train station is Stonehaven approximately 1 mile away.

The start is near the pavilion in Mineralwell Park.

From the bus stop at Cowie Bridge on B979: Walk towards the town centre and turn right immediately after Cowie Bridge before Belmont Brae. Follow this minor road into the park.

From train station main entrance: Follow the road out to the main road, turn left down Arduthie Road, then left down Westfield Road. Go straight over the junction and down Bath Street and then turn left onto Baird Terrace. Take the footpath into the park from the corner of Baird Terrace.

If using sat nav, the nearest postcode is AB39 3XY, Stonehaven Cricket Club, for the park.

From the South: Leave the A90 at the junction for the AWPR/Netherley and follow the B979 road down the hill into Stonehaven and turn right at the mini roundabout. The entrance road to Mineralwell Park is on the right immediately after you have crossed the river.

From the North: Leave the A90 at the first Stonehaven exit and follow the road down the hill into Stonehaven. Go straight on at the mini roundabout and the entrance road to Mineralwell Park is on the right immediately after you have crossed the river.

Parking: There is some parking within the park behind the pavilion. Please take care as the access road in and out of Mineralwell Park is narrow. There is further parking available at Baird Park or the Stonehaven Leisure Centre opposite, both a short walk or jog away.

Stonehaven 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 Stonehaven parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
