Thornbury parkrun

There is a public bus from Bristol which stops in Thornbury town centre. From there it's only a two minute walk to the Mundy Playing Fields via the entrance at the top of the High Street.

From Rock Street car park exit by crossing the road towards Aldi then head into the St Mary Street car park, up the hill from Aldi.

From St Mary Street car park, walk uphill towards the Wheatsheaf pub, turn right on to Chapel Street and follow the road to the top of the High Street and turn right.

From the top of the High Street, opposite the Malthouse pub, walk to the end of The Close then follow the footpath all the way past the play park and round to the building and the start line.

From the Castle Court car park, walk through the gate near the vehicle exit into the field and follow the path down the hill. Cross the bridge and turn left at the bottom and follow the path through the trees till you emerge in the park near the finish area. This path can get very muddy in winter.

For satellite navigation, the postcode BS35 2FH will take you to the Rock Street car park long stay.

From the M4, exit at J20 to M5 South, then immediately exit at M5 J15 to A38 North.

From the M5, exit at J14 to A38 South if travelling from the north, or J15 to A38 North if travelling from the south.

Thornbury is signposted off the A38. Follow any route into the town to the High Street.

Visitors are recommended to use the Rock Street car park (BS35 2FH) and walk to the park via the top of the High Street, through the entrance opposite the Malthouse pub.

Nearby alternative car parks are in St Mary Street (BS35 2AT) and Castle Court (BS35 2XN).

There are some disabled parking spaces at the small car park at the Mundy Playing Fields. The entrance is off Kington Lane.

Thornbury 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.
• Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event.
  The only exception to this rule is when accompanied by an assistance dog.
• 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 Thornbury parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
