Is one of 4 parkruns in the Ipswich council area about 30 minutes west of Brisbane central Business District. It is probably the hardest of the 4 and probably amongst the hardest in South East Queensland. I class it as hard as the start and finish on this out and back trail course is pretty technical and I had to watch my footing. After the start finish section the rest is not too bad on a pea gravel six foot wide fire access trail through there is also a decent but gradual hill to deal with which will collect you about 110 metres of elevation gain during this 5 kilometre workout. The average finish time is 39.01. It is only a small parkrun even through it is close to many housing estates apparently any sort of a hill in a parkrun course seems to keep the numbers right down. We really like this quiet and challenging parkrun and have done it twice with hopefully plenty more visits to come.
