The course
Course description
This is a 2 lap course on a mixture of crushed granite and concrete paths beside the Bell River. The course starts near the main entrance in Cameron Park and then crosses the Bell River footbridge to continue around the perimeter of Pioneer Park sports oval and back - with a short side branch beside the Bell River - before returning to the start, and then repeated for the 2nd lap, finishing back in Cameron Park. There is a slight incline over the bridge.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Cameron Park, Wellington. The course is run on a mixture of gravel paths and 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.
