Tuff Crater Reserve parkrun

Our parkrun is easily reached by bus! The Northern Express (NEX) runs regularly from the city and North Auckland to Akoranga Bus Station, which is approximately 1km or a 15 minute walk to our start line. For more options and timetables please visit the Auckland Transport Journey Planner website.

From Akoranga bus station, a 15 minute walk through the Akoranga campus to Akoranga Drive, cross the road and enter Warehouse Way.

If coming from the North or South take SH1 and exit at the Esmonde Road (exit 420). Turn onto Akoranga Drive and then onto Warehouse Way. Continue straight ahead at the roundabout into the Warehouse carpark. To get to the briefing location, turn left when you walk out of the carpark and then left on the concrete path which is sign posted to Tuff Crater Reserve.

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: Aim High Cafe, 17 Pearn Place, Northcote. Please come and join us!

Tuff Crater Reserve 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.
• 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.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Tuff Crater Reserve parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
