The course

Course description

This out-and-back 5k route starts and finishes by the field to the south of the main car park at Boulevard Lake, with the turnaround point near the washrooms off Current Ave/Morse St. The course follows paved, flat trails around the lake, curving behind the tennis courts and over the dam, winding along the shoreline before turning around and returning back to the field.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Thunder Bay, Ontario. 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

There are washrooms and change facilities located near the car park (open May long weekend - September long weekend). Additional seasonal washrooms are available at the 2.5km turnaround point. There is an accessible playground, with seasonal picnic benches, near the start/finish area.

More details

Public transport

Bus: The No.7 and No.17 buses both stop at Algoma/MacDougall, which is a short walk from the start area.

On foot

To get to Boulevard Lake on foot from downtown, it is best to use Algoma St N, with a pavement.

By road

There is a large free car park located on the west side of the lake, close to the start area. If coming from the south, follow Memorial Ave and continue straight onto Algoma St N. If coming from the north, come down Hodder Ave as it becomes Cumberland St N, then turn right onto Gibson St.

Coffee

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: Tim Hortons on Cumberland St. Please come and join us!

Course safety

Boulevard 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.
  • Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. Consider protecting yourself by wearing repellent when at parkrun events in grassy or wooded areas. See lymediseaseuk.com for further details.
  • 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.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Boulevard Lake parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
