parkrun - Queanbeyan

This is a double loop, out and back course, starting by the river on Morisset Street, starting on grass and then running along a bike path. The path winds its way up a hill, past the Riverside Cemetery, turning around close to McEwan Avenue. Follow the path back the same way, loop around the turn at the start point and repeat. This course has two short hill climbs per lap, and is suitable for prams (noting grass start, turn around, and finish) and dogs on leads. To the right of the path is the Queanbeyan River, with a marshal at the turnaround to greet you on both laps. A volunteer will always bring up the back of the pack, so parkrunners never finish “last”. Facilities Toilets, shower, water and bike locker are located at the Bus Interchange (along with plenty of free parking) and at the nearby Queanbeyan park (and children’s playground).
