Event Details
Course Description
The Clifton Beach Series 2 – Race 2 follows a flat, well‑maintained 10km route that winds along the footpaths of Clifton Beach and Palm Cove. Runners set off from the sandy start line at Deadman's Gully Park, head north along the promenade, and reach the turn‑around point at the Palm Cove jetty where a water stop is provided. After the turnaround the course retraces the same scenic path back to the finish at Deadman's Gully. The route offers sea views, gentle sea‑breeze conditions and easy‑going terrain, making it perfect for a relaxed run or a personal best attempt. Toilets are available at the start/finish area and near the water stop, and basic first‑aid support is on hand.
