The course

Course description

An offset out and back course along the beautiful flat concrete paths alongside Moreton Bay.

Starting beside the Wynnum Wading Pool we head South East on the main shared use path towards Manly. The first turn is after 1.6km, opposite 'Coopers Cafe' by a purple 5,000 steps signpost on a small triangle of grass before Bayside Park. We return along the main path and pass the Start-Finish area and continue for a further 0.9km to the second turn at Wynnum Creek just before Breakwater Park. We return 0.9km along the main path to the finish area. Both turns are marked with a parkrun flag and a marshal.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The run takes place at Wynnum Manly Foreshore, QLD. The course is run on tarmac and concrete 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

Toilet facilities are available at the start/finish and midway points. There are also plenty of water fountains at start/finish and along route.

More details

Public transport

Train: Catch a Cleveland line train to Wynnum Central station. The Wynnum parkrun is an easy 750m walk away.

Edith Street and Clara Streets also lead down from shopping area onto Wynnum Esplanade and the bayside. The parkrun is alongside the Moreton Bay Cycleway (MBC) for easy access by bicycle.

Course safety

Wynnum 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 Wynnum parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
