Course Description
The race takes place on a flat, 2.5km loop that starts and finishes at Jetty Flat Reserve. Runners covering 5km will complete two laps of the same circuit, while 2.5km participants enjoy a single lap.

It is fully sealed, making it suitable for all footwear types and providing a safe, low‑impact environment for walkers and runners alike. Spectators can watch from the reserve’s grassy areas, creating a relaxed, community atmosphere.
