The course
Course description
Please be aware the start and finish lines are about a kilometre apart. Please don’t leave your belongings behind and note that we can’t transfer items like jackets bags keys or phones to the finish line.
This is a single lap course running counter–clockwise around Bibra Lake. It is quite a flat course.
Runners start on the grass and prams on the shared path, on the west side of Bibra Lake, south of the playground and amenities. Follow the shared path south for several hundred metres, before turning east to follow the red/brown shared path around the south of the lake, keeping the lake close on our left hand side. Follow the path as it leads away from the lake, before turning left to head north. There will be a water tap and some toilets on the right hand side of the path. Keep on following the path north until it comes to a T junction, then turn left again to head west back towards the lake, and stay on the grey shared path, which will veer back towards a northerly direction, eventually coming to another left turn towards the northern end of the lake. Follow the path around the northern edge of the lake, then a short left turn before Progress drive (still on the grey shared path), to head south towards the finish line, which will be marked and ends just off the shared path
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Bibra Lake Reserve, Bibra Lake. The course is run entirely on tarmac 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
Toilets, including disabled toilets, located near the Progress Drive and Gwilliam Drive intersection. Two parking areas at the lake itself plus one large parking area at Adventure World (across the road from the lake and quite close to the start line.) Two playgrounds – one enclosed. BBQ facilities.

Course safety
Bibra Lake 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 Bibra Lake parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
