The course
Course description
Nuriootpa parkrun is 2 laps of an out and back course starting in the middle of the Coulthard Reserve.
The course heads past the toilet block and east along the northern perimeter track of the park, then forks left before the slope down to the creek crossing.
This path takes you out of the park over a foot bridge and loops back into the park. Continue south along the main path of the park towards the Bushgardens entrance at the southern end near Penrice Rd. Turn at the flag and retrace your steps.
On the first lap, continue around the “roundabout” in front of the toilet block, and on the last lap continue back to the starting point.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is in Coulthard Reserve, Nuriootpa. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths, gravel paths and trail 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.
Facilities
Toilets include disabled facilities and are located at northern end of the Coulthard Reserve.
There is free but limited parking at the Coulthard Reserve off Penrice Rd next to the Barossa Tourist Park, or alternatively on Penrice Rd.
Alternatively there is parking in Nurootpa along Park Avenue, from where you can walk or cycle along the Linear Park track towards Penrice Rd and into the Coulthard Reserve.
You will need to factor in time to walk to the start area in the middle of the Coulthard Reserve as the roadway through the park will be closed until 0900.
Please visit our Facebook page for a map and directions of how to get from the car park to the start line.
There are picnic areas and children play areas in the reserve.
Often there are interesting displays in the gardens particularly during South Australia Living Artists Festival (SALA) held through the month of August each year.

Course safety
Nuriootpa 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 Nuriootpa parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
