17 May – Park Run.
A free, fun, and friendly weekly five-kilometre community event on beautiful Wiradjuri Country. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate - it’s up to you. The course is 5000m long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is at the Cowra Breakout Cycleway and Walking path, Corner of Evans Street and Sakura Avenue, Cowra. The course is run entirely on concrete paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Depending on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place. The parkrun is free to enter, but please register before you come along. Only ever register with parkrun once, and don’t forget to bring a scannable copy of your barcode. If you forget it, you won’t be given a time. Sakura Avenue, Cowra.
