Event Details
Course Description
The Strait Link Burnie 10 starts on Wilson Street just north of the Wilson‑Cattley intersection, outside Intersport Burnie. Runners head south along Wilson Street, join the Bass Highway, and continue east to the 5km turning point. The route then returns west on the highway, re‑entering Wilson Street for a final 550‑metre sprint to the finish line. The 5km course splits off at the River Road junction (2.5km from the start). The course is flat, traffic‑free, and fully certified, offering scenic views of Burnie's coastal backdrop while keeping the surface smooth and fast.
Getting There
The start line is on Wilson Street in Burnie's CBD, just a short walk from the Burnie City Council Chambers (80 Wilson St). Free parking is available in the multi‑storey car park on Marine Terrace and at the Burnie Surf Club. Limited on‑street parking is free on Cattley Street. Public buses run regularly to the Burnie Interchange (≈5 min walk). Arrive at least 30 minutes early to collect your bib and warm‑up.
Weather & What to Pack
October is spring in Tasmania. Expect a daytime high around 16 °C and an overnight low near 8 °C, with occasional light showers (annual rainfall ~947 mm). Dress in layers – a light jacket or long‑sleeve top, breathable base layer, and a hat or gloves for cooler early‑morning temps. Bring a water bottle; hydration stations are provided at 2.5 km, 5 km and 7.5 km.
