The course
Course description
Four laps around by the beautiful Cobourg Beach and around Victoria Park, on a flat course with a number of bends and corners. The start and finish is on the multi-use trail adjacent to the Victoria Park bandshell.
The path is maintained throughout the winter but can still be covered in snow and ice.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Victoria Park, Cobourg. The course is run entirely on permanent 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
Cobourg Beach has public washrooms directly in the park only between Canada Day and Thanksgiving. When washrooms are not available directly in the park, there are washrooms two blocks from the parkrun in the downtown.

- 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.

- 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.
