Race Start
Each race will have a warm up in the event village 15 minutes prior to the start time.
After the warm up, estimated finish times will be called to the starting pen where our marshals will guide you into a start formation.
During the race
There will be marshals all around the course as well as KM signs and arrows. The course is two laps for the 5k and 4 laps for the 10k on the roads/paths in the park.
Please be aware that there will be spectators and members of the public using the park.
For the 10k, green KM signs will be around the course in consecutive order from 1-10. For the 5k, please be aware to look out for red KM signs 1-5.
If you need to overtake on the course please be sure to take a wide berth around the runner in front.
