Eramosa River Trail parkrun

From Guelph Central Station, walk north along Wyndham one block to Macdonnell. Turn left (west) and walk to bus stop at Macdonnell and Wilson. Take the 99 Mainline Southbound three stops to the corner of Water and Gordon. Walk back along Gordon over the bridge. The Boathouse Tea Room is across the street on your right and the covered bridge is just beyond that. Walk through the Covered Bridge to find the start/finish area.

The start/finish area is about a ten minute walk from the Guelph Central Station. Immediately outside the station building is the corner of Carden and Wyndham, turn left on Wyndham and proceed under the rail overpass to the lights three short blocks away at Wyndham and Wellington. Continue on Wyndham across the bridge for one more block to where Wyndham turns left and becomes York Road. At this corner you can see the start/finish area by the Covered Bridge to your right on the other side of the baseball diamond.

From the 401, take Hwy 6 north approximately 12km to the Wellington Street turnoff. Bear right onto Wellington Street and drive 2km east to Gordon Street. Turn right. Parking is on the left about 50m from the turn.

From north of Guelph, take Hwy 6 south from Woodlawn Road for just over 3.5km to the Wellington Street/Hwy 7 exit. At the traffic lights, turn left and follow Wellington Street for just over 2km to Gordon Street. Turn right. Parking is on your left, 50m from the turn.

Various parking possibilities including a large gravel lot north of the Boathouse Tea Room, street parking along York Road both east and west of Wyndham, and limited parking just off York Road at the main park entrance, 85 York Road.

Eramosa River Trail 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.
• 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.
• 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 Eramosa River Trail parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
