The course

Course description

This is an out and back, undulating trail course. The start/finish area is just inside the gates at the Mount Annan Drive entrance.

Due to the terrain, parts of the course may make it harder for people with buggies & pushchairs - please contact the team in advance for further information.

As this course is located in the Australian Botanic Garden, unfortunately dogs are not permitted at this event.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan, Mount Annan. The course is run entirely on trail 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 PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, 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. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

Facilities

The closest toilets are located 500m from the start line at the visitor information centre within the gardens, however these are not open until 8:30am. The closest public toilet open prior to the event start time is located in Mount Annan Marketplace, 11-13 Main Street, Mount Annan.

Course safety

Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan 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.
  • Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event.
    The only exception to this rule is when accompanied by an assistance dog.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
