About the course

The course is 5000 metres (5 kilometres) long and has been accurately measured with a professional measuring wheel. The course runs through Macquarie University, Sydney and is run entirely on permanent paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves, and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the Parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a personal best, and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event. Wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Parking may be limited so ensure to arrive early.
