Course Overview
The course begins on Victoria Parade and follows Beach Road along the coastline to the turnaround point at Beach Road Carpark, Harwood Avenue and then returns on the footpath alongside the Victoria Parade start area.

From there, the route hugs the shoreline with beautiful water views before weaving beneath the cool canopy of the Bartlett Cycleway past Conroy Park, where an aid station provides the perfect opportunity to refuel, all the way to Corlette Point Park.

Runners will leave the pathway via Corlette Point Road and emerge onto Sandy Point Road, continuing on the wide shoulder, returning to the Bartlett Cycleway at Pantowora Beach, following the coastline past the start precinct.

Runners then settle into their shorter lap, with the final turn at Dutchmans Beach. All the while soaking in the coastal scenery before finishing strong at Nelson Bay Foreshore Reserve - the perfect finale to an unforgettable run.
