The event takes place at Whittlesea Public Gardens, 158 Barry Road, Lalor, Vic 3075. See Course page for more details.

What does it cost to join in?
Nothing – it’s free! but please register before your first wallk / run. Only ever register with parkrun once. Don’t forget to bring a printed copy of your barcode (request a reminder). If you forget it, you won’t get a time. Register at www.parkrun.com.au/register

How fast do I have to be?
We all walk / run for our own enjoyment. Please come along and join in whatever your pace! Lalor parkrun needs you!

We’re friendly!
On the first Saturday of the month we grab a post parkrun coffee at Hexx Cafe 82 Gateway Blvd, Epping VIC 3076 – please come and join us!

Course Description
Starting just near the rotunda, the course will take you south on the path, enjoying views of the wetlands and complete loop around the Gardens before joining the Craigieburn Bypass shared path where you will head over the High 5 Bridge. After crossing the bridge, turn around back over the bridge then take a right turn heading south to the turn around point and back to the garden path (watch the dip). Enter the Gardens and follow the path back to Rotunda following the path next to the ‘lake’ in an anti clockwise direction.

 

Useful Information

Course Safety
The Lalor parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the run as safe as possible, so runners, 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 run 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.
Please consider volunteering to help occasionally – this event survives only because of your generosity – 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 run, please drive carefully even if you’re late!
When running, take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other runners, 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. Health advice about running can be found at the excellent Runners’ Medical Resource website (although this external website focuses on preparation for a race and does not describe parkrun events).
Remember to warm up before the run.
If you see a runner with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
If you’re watching, keep clear of runners 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.
Runners wishing to run with a dog are welcome, but please keep the dog on a short lead or harness and under control throughout the event. Please also review the parkrun support page article about running with a dog at parkrun events.
Runners pushing buggies are also welcome, but please take extreme care of other runners around you. If possible start from the back of the field and try to keep to one side of the main body of runners.
We hope these tips help to ensure that Lalor parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
