The course

Course description

Welcome to Stanthorpe, the coolest place in Queensland! Noted for apples and grapes, and beautiful frosty mornings.
Stanthorpe parkrun runs along Quart Pot Creek and is a two loop course.
Keep the creek on your right for 4.5 km.
The start and finish is at the skate park in Talc Street.
From the start line, run on the grass towards the Lock Street bridge then use the bridge to cross the creek (please stay on the pedestrian part).
Turn right onto the cement path and follow the creek, remaining on the footpath and keeping the creek on your right. The path will curve around and lead you to the Britannia Street bridge, which you will cross and then return along the other side of the creek.
After a dip to a small footbridge, a bollard labeled Brass Monkey Loop and Marshall, will direct you left onto a concrete path that leads around to another footbridge.
From this point after crossing the footbridge you turn right and repeat the loop.
When crossing this footbridge a second time you turn left and return to the start/finish line near the skate park.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is in Gleeson Park, Stanthorpe. The course is run on a mixture of paved paths and grass. 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

Public toilets are available by following a laneway just to the south of the YMCA gym. During summer there may also be access to toilet and change facilities in the YMCA and the council pool area. Please ask the run director on the morning.
Parking is available in the YMCA council carpark opposite the start and finish line rotunda in Gleeson Park

Course safety

Stanthorpe 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 Stanthorpe parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
