Warabrook.
Event location and information.
Assembly Area is adjacent to the narrow part of Eucalyptus Circuit where it fronts the Parkland.
Parking Park in Coachwood drive or Eucalyptus circuit but…
DO NOT PARK in the narrow part of Eucalyptus circuit directly next to the parklands – it is too narrow. These are quiet suburban streets – please be mindful of the residents. It may be necessary to park a few hundred metres from the start. The corner of Coachwood Dr and Eucalyptus Crt will be closest to assembly area
Facilities There are barbecues and play equipment 150 m from the start. There are no toilets in this park – nearest public toilets are at Warabrook shopping centre.
Course information.
General – Courses are in open parkland, suburban streets and there are some small patches of bush. There are tracks and cycleways through the park – be mindful that these are narrow with blind corners and take care to avoid colliding with pedestrians and cyclists. Mosquitoes are abundant and hungry. On the long and short courses there are some patches of rough ground where the runnability depends on the mowing schedule – grass varies between thigh and ankle high.
Mini course is around the central park and lake area. It is not all visible from the assembly area and has direct access to the lakes’ edges so depending on the child’s age shadowing may be needed. There are no street crossings on the mini course.
Long and Short courses include the parkland and surrounding streets.
