Event Details
Course Description
All distances start at the Geographe Bay Road and Gale Street intersection and follow an out‑and‑back route along the stunning coastline of Geographe Bay. The 5km and 10km loops head east, passing the Yacht Club and Dolphin Road carpark before turning back. The Half Marathon adds a turn‑around at the Quindalup Boat Ramp, while the Marathon extends further to Forth Street and beyond, with a total of six aid stations spaced roughly 3‑3.5 km apart, each offering water, electrolytes and bananas. The finish line loops through the bus park with a hair‑pin turn back to the start, providing plenty of spectator support and sea breezes throughout.
Getting There
The race is centred on Geographe Bay Road at the Gale Street intersection in Busselton. Foreshore parking is closed on race day, but several CBD car parks are available (typically 2‑hour limits).
