The course
Course description
The course is a flat double width footpath that runs between Legendre Road and Nickol Road on Bayview Road in Nickol. There are three bridges on the course and the event starts and finishes around the location of the middle bridge. The course is two and a half times the length of the footpath. This track is suitable for all, including prams and wheelchairs.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Bayview Road, Nickol. The course 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 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
No facilities available on site.
More details
Public transport
Public transport is extremely limited in Karratha and it is not operational during parkrun times. Taxi’s are available.
On foot
The start/finish location is on the foot path on Bayview Road between Nickol Road and Legendre Road, closest to the middle bridge of the three bridges.
By road
As the entire course runs along a footpath on Bayview Road, Nickol (between the intersections of Bayview Road and Nickol Road and Bayview Road and Legendre Road) it would be recommended to Google Maps search Bayview Road, Nickol. Please note that it was previously named Balmoral Road, Nickol. Bayview Road runs off Dampier Highway which is a main arterial road in Karratha.
Parking is along the gravel verge that runs the length of the footpath, parking is generally near the center with all vehicles facing the road (reverse parked).
Course safety
Bayview Road 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.
- 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 Bayview Road parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
