Sir James Mitchell parkrun

The closest bus stops are on Canning Highway just before Berwick Street (stop 10342 going East or stop 10228 going West) using bus routes 32, 33 or 910.

From The City catch the ferry across the river to Mends Street jetty and head east 2.8km along the riverbank. However, the first ferry leaves at 7.30am so you will have a fast warm up to get to the start by 8am!!

The parkrun starts at City of South Perth - Ellam Street Car Park.

Ellam Street runs off Mill Point Road near where it meets Canning Highway.

Parking is available near the start area and along Ellam Street. The first hour is free from 8am, but you must register using the easypark app. An extra free hour is available for South Perth residents. Additional free parking is available about 100 meters along Ellam Street toward Mill Point Road.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: the coffee van. Please come and join us!

Sir James Mitchell 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 Sir James Mitchell parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
