Maribyrnong parkrun

Take the 57 tram from Elizabeth St in the city to stop 42 Maribyrnong Rd/Clyde St.
Catch the train from Melbourne to Ascot Vale station, walk to Maribyrnong Rd. and catch the 82 tram from stop 35 through to stop 42 Maribyrnog Rd/Clyde St.

From Tram stop, enter park on the left hand side of the road (if coming from the city) and walk 100 meters to reach staging area.

From Melbourne city centre, follow Elizabeth St. until reaching the large roundabout on Royal Parade. Take the second exit onto Flemington Rd. and continue straight until it becomes Mount Alexander Rd. Follow Mt. Alexander Rd. and turn left on Maribyrnong Rd. Follow Maribyrnong Rd. until you cross the river (the start/finish area will be on your left immediately after you cross the river) and then find a street parking spot.

Free parking is available in surrounding streets - there is ample parking in the Anglers Tavern area and in the streets opposite Maribyrnong Rd such as Clyde St. Please park considerately and ensure you do not block driveways or intersections. The Maribyrnong City Council enforces parking regulations in the area.

Due to the typically high number of participants, please ensure you arrive early enough to find a suitable parking spot and to walk from there to the start/finish area.

Maribyrnong 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 Maribyrnong parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
