Event Information

Please keep count of your laps during the race. The course is on the paths in the park:

Half Marathon - 6.75 laps (7 Times past the water station)- Yellow Mile signs 1-13

10k - 3 laps (3 Times past the water station) - Green KM signs 1-9

5k - 1.5 laps (1 Time past the water station) - Red KM signs 1-4.

*Please note - This event takes place on public paths that may also be used by pedestrians. While every effort is made to manage shared use areas and ensure runner safety, including signage and marshal presence, we kindly ask all participants to remain aware of their surroundings throughout the race.

Due to the nature of a lapped course we ask that you remain vigilant to other runners and keep left at all times. This will allow for anyone needing to overtake to have a clear path on the right and ensure not only your safety but allow you the best experience throughout the race.

Please also be aware that we will have a bike ahead of the lead runner of each distance to prevent any collision around the laps. They will be vocal when coming towards you from behind so be sure to listen out for any additional instructions.
