Waverley Lakes parkrun

Bus: The nearest public transport stop is High Field Spring/Whittle Way bus stop, which is right by Olive Lane; the 70 and 95 buses both stop here, coming from both Rotherham and Sheffield directions.

Waverley has many walking and cycling routes that lead both into and through Waverley. The Waverley Lakes are close to Treeton, Catcliffe and Handsworth.

• From the M1, take junction 33 and follow the signs for the A630 towards Sheffield city centre.
• Stay on the A630 for one junction.
• As you exit the A630, you’ll reach a roundabout - take the first exit. At the next roundabout, take the third exit, which will lead you up a hill with the hotel on your left.
• At the top of the hill, go straight across the roundabout (first exit) and then take the first exit left into the Waverley estate, where you’ll pass a pub on your right. Continue to the T-junction and turn left - the car park is directly ahead at the end of this road (Stephenson Way).
• The car park is on Olive Lane, and can be found using w3w: ///stable.fails.gazed, or by postcode S60 8GA. Please use this car park and avoid parking on residential streets.
• From here, allow approximately 20 minutes to walk to the start of the parkrun (this could be a good warm-up!).

Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee at Serve Coffee UK, Waverley - please come and join us!

Waverley Lakes 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 Waverley Lakes parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
