If you are interested in doing a park run, please avoid Woking Park !!! There are plenty of others including Rushmoor, Frimley Lodge Park, Bracknell, etc etc

Please find a loo before you arrive at Woking … there are loos and a café but right in the middle of the area so please only use both after you have had your run 😊

The car park for Woking Park is at the far end under the multi-storey 5-aside pitches, behind the sports centre. Follow signs towards overflow car park https://www.google.com/maps/dir//51.3102657,-0.555552/@51.3093424,-0.5550962,559m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e0 … parking allows for 3 hours free with some small charges after this please, pay if you are staying longer …

At registration there is a honesty box and a checklist – please just pay and cross off your name if neither Pete or I are there – and if you need a dibber just take one and write the number down by the side of your name.

We will be using SIAC touch free for those of you who have it with a punching start and finish – if you don’t have SIAC enabled please make sure you punch at each control site.

We will close the courses on time – since we need to move between events so please don’t be late 😊
