Course Description

The Strait Link Burnie 10 starts outside the Burnie City Council Chambers on Wilson Street, heads south along the historic main road to the Bass Highway, then turns east for the 5km turnaround point. Runners return west on the highway, re‑enter Wilson Street and finish with a final 300‑metre sprint to the finish line. The 5km follows the same start before turning at River Road, while the 800m kids dash runs down Wilson Street and back. The flat, paved route showcases Burnie's waterfront backdrop and historic streets, offering a fast, family‑friendly experience for all ability levels.

Getting There

The race hub is at the Burnie City Council Chambers on Wilson Street. Free parking is available in the Multi‑Storey Car Park on Marine Terrace and on surrounding streets. Bags can be stored at the Baptist Church (57‑59 Mount St). For public transport options and detailed directions, visit the official event website.

Weather & What to Pack

October is spring in Tasmania, with typical daytime highs around 16 °C and overnight lows near 8 °C. Expect cool, crisp conditions and occasional light rain – Tasmania averages about 950 mm of rainfall annually. Dress in layers, wear a light wind‑proof jacket, and bring a hat or gloves for early‑morning chill. Stay hydrated, but a water bottle should be sufficient for the moderate temperatures.
