The course
Course description
This is a out-and-back course starting from Noosaville State School gates.
Follow the path north, at 200 metres turn left as the path runs between Noosaville State School and St Theresa’s Catholic School and down hill to the parkland. The path veers to the right slightly. Runners then follow the path until the turn around point and return along the same route back to the start point.
The course is undulating in for the first kilometre however flattens out adjacent to the creek and Lake Doonella, views across the lake are offered at various points.
The first 500 meters of the path is the narrowest section and it widens to a 3 metre path once you have passed the school grounds and entered the Lake Doonella parkland area. The path is very shady is very suitable for prams.
Participants are welcome to take part with a dog on a short lead, however, due to the start/finish being on school grounds please contact us in advance so we can explain the situation more clearly to you if you wish to participate with your dog.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Noosaville State School car park, Corner of 75 Beckmans Road, Noosaville. The course is run on a mixture of concrete paths and aggregate paths. 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
Noosa 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 Noosa parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
