Event Details
Course Description
The course runs entirely on sealed shared paths that follow the Wollondilly River around Riverside Park. It is described as undulating rather than flat - gentle rises rather than real hills - on consistent path surface, so road shoes are fine. Water and Tailwind Nutrition are on course at multiple stations. The longer distances cover more of the same riverside path network.
Getting There
Riverside Park is on Quiberon Way in Goulburn, just off the Hume Highway about 90 minutes from both Sydney and Canberra. There is a small car park at the venue and plenty of parking in the surrounding residential streets. No public transport runs on Sunday - arrive by car, bike or on foot.
Weather & What to Pack
Goulburn sits high on the Southern Tablelands and mid-October mornings are cold - often 3-8C at the start - warming to the high teens by late morning. Dress for a frosty start you can shed. The riverside paths carry some shade.
