Woodhouse Moor parkrun

Leeds has a large and well connected railway station which can bring you to Leeds city centre. You can walk from the railway station to the Woodhouse Moor parkrun start line in about half an hour. Alternatively, there are several buses which run from the city centre and go past Woodhouse Moor (along Woodhouse Lane).

Assuming you are starting from Leeds railway station, exit the station on New Station Street and cross Boar Lane to join Albion Street. Carry on straight ahead up Albion Street, crossing the Headrow, when the road becomes Woodhouse Lane, keep going up Woodhouse Lane. After about 2km of walking from the railway station you will arrive at the junction of Woodhouse Lane and Clarendon Road. Turn left onto Clarendon Road. After a little bit less than 400m you will arrive at the junction of Clarendon Road and Moorland Road. You’ll see the Duke of Wellington statue, head down the path that bisects the park to a small roundabout, the start is on the right.

Leeds has good motorway links from all directions via the M62 and M1 but allow sufficient time for the final part of the journey into the city. It’s generally possible to find free, on-street parking on the streets surrounding the park, allow around 10 minutes walking time if using the public car parking available at the University of Leeds.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: at The Birdcage, which is a piece of land across the A660 with outdoor seating and tables. Refreshments can be bought from Coffee on the Crescent and other cafes nearby. Please come and join us!

Woodhouse Moor 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 Woodhouse Moor parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
