The course
Course description
This is a flat, two and a half lap course. There will be flags, cones, signs and marshals to direct you. The start line is situated in Garden Park near the Gateway Information Centre, Cohuna - you can either walk over the town bridge or drive and park in the Gateway Car Park or the Main Street. The event briefing will occur at the start line.
To start, we head past Cohuna Gateway Information Centre and over the Channel on a small bridge and to the left. Continue straight into Gilrule Park and stay on the track on the left heading past the Cohuna Scout Hall. Once past the Scout Hall take the first right and stay on the track heading towards the giant gum tree. At the tree turn around and head back the way you came until the Scout Hall. Here, pass the marshal who will direct you to the pathway to the Creekside track back to the Weir. Veer left and cross Gunbower Creek and the Fish Ladder and follow bollards and safety cones to rejoin our Creekside track, turning right at the end to cross the town bridge, then right again and past the start line (near the Creek fountain} and repeat the loop two times before the half lap.
This will take you back across the first bridge, down to the Scout Hall, turn right and follow the Creekside track back to the weir, cross and follow track back to the town bridge, turn right and right again following concrete pathway to the finish line which will verge to the left after the start line towards the Gateway Centre area.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Garden Park, Cohuna. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths, concrete paths, gravel paths and grass. 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
Ample car parking is available at the start point and nearby. Toilets are available at the Cohuna Gateway Information Centre (including family/disabled facilities) and the Main Street. Water is available from a bubble tap near the Scout Hall and in Garden Park, Cohuna.

Course safety
Cohuna 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 Cohuna parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
