Ginninderra parkrun

Buses to/from Belconnen Bus Depot leave a short walk down Benjamin Way on to Emu Bank by Lake Ginninderra.

Once you reach Lake Ginninderra, turn right and follow the path along the lake side, past the row of restaurants and bars. Cross the pedestrian bridge by Lighthouse Bar and the skate park to John Knight Memorial Park. Turn left and follow the lake path through the park and around a number of further bends. The start/finish line is approx 400 metres from the pedestrian bridge.

There are car parks all around Lake Ginninderra from which you can access the parkrun. For ease of access, the best option is to park is in Townsend Place, off Aikman Drive. There are limited parks, so get in early! Alternate parking can be found at Lake Ginninderra College, after parking, walk along the lake with the water on your left, continue through to John Knight Memorial Park until you see all the commotion.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: Birrigai Cafe, 2 Joy Cummins Place, Belconnen. A short walk from the finish line. Please come and join us!

Ginninderra 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 Ginninderra parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
