Tamworth Parkrun
2025-11-29 07:50 - 09:30 | NSW
Tamworth Parkrun is a free 5 km timed event every Saturday morning for walkers and runners. This is an out-and-back course. The course starts between the Paradise Tourist Park and Hungry Jacks in Peel Street. The course runs behind Hungry Jacks, past the velodrome and through Bicentennial Park along the concrete path parallel to the Peel River for 2.5km. At this point you will turn around and head back to the starting point to finish your parkrun. There are a few short ups and downs where the path goes under some roads, but it is primarily flat. The width of the path only varies a little bit. At times you will run in the shade of the trees, at other times you will be out in the open with beautiful views of the Peel River. Course tips: At path intersections, always turn toward but not over the river. The edges of the path are not even with the grass in places so please take care when moving off the path or overtaking. 7.50am: Parkrun briefing 8am: Parkrun starts For more information about the course, visit our webpage HERE
