Event Details
Course Description
At Heffron Park in Maroubra, the race follows a 6.71 km loop that combines sealed pathways and grassed parkland. The circuit is largely flat with minimal elevation change, making navigation straightforward but the hourly repeat adds a strategic element. Runners start at 9:00 AM and must be back at the start corral each hour; missing the hour results in a DNF. The loop winds through open fields, tree‑lined tracks and along the park’s perimeter, offering a mix of surface types that test both speed and endurance. Because the same loop is run repeatedly, pacing, nutrition and mental focus become crucial as the distance accumulates hour after hour.
Getting There
The event starts at Heffron Park in the suburb of Maroubra, Sydney. The park is accessible by car and by public transport, with nearby bus stops and train stations. For exact parking locations, bus routes, train services and recommended arrival times, please visit the official event website and check any updates on road closures.
Weather & What to Pack
March falls in the Australian autumn, and Sydney’s coastal location brings mild to warm days with occasional showers. Expect daytime highs of 22‑25 °C and evening lows around 15‑18 °C, with moderate humidity. Light, breathable clothing and a wind‑proof jacket are advisable, as temperatures can drop after sundown. Sunscreen and a hat are still important for sunny periods, and staying hydrated is key even in cooler weather. Check the forecast closer to the event for any changes.
