Course Description

The race follows a certified 2.56464 km loop that hugs the Patawalonga Creek and Holdfast Bay shoreline. Runners enjoy a smooth, mixed‑terrain surface of paved riverbank and soft sand, framed by swaying palm trees and colourful kayaks on the water. The loop is repeated continuously for the duration of the 6‑ or 12‑hour event, with a single aid station at the start/finish offering water, sports drinks, snacks and first‑aid support. The flat, well‑marked course is easy to navigate, making it ideal for both seasoned ultra‑runners and newcomers seeking a memorable night‑time experience.
