The course
Course description
Three laps of paradise - with a few twists and turns!
The start is at the Band Rotunda (near the Cornwall Park café) and the finish is on the grass area opposite the cafe. The course takes you from the archway towards the car park where you take a left along the mounded grass strip before turning left again at “Sheep Corner” toward “Hidden Waterfall”. Turn left back toward the Rotunda, follow the path past “Larry’s Corner” and when we arrive at the Rotunda turn right onto the grass keeping the trees to your left. After 100m a left turn onto the path brings us to “The Crossroads” where we turn right following the path down the hill and toward the park entrance, turn left and make your way up “Pohutakawa Drive” (AKA Tree Root Alley). Look out for our Marshal at the end who will guide you to your left, past the finish, around the back of the old Oak tree and on to “Crossroads” where a right turn takes you back toward the Rotunda and the start. Turn right at Larry’s corner and CONGRATULATIONS you have finished lap 1.
Lap 2 is the same as lap 1 and on Lap 3 you finish by turning right just before the Old Oak Tree towards the grass in front of the cafe.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is in Cornwall park, Auckland and run on sealed paths, road, unsealed track 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.

Course safety
Cornwall Park 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 Cornwall Park parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
