Event Details
Course Description
The race starts and finishes beneath the elevated walkway at Haines Park, winding along the Mersey River’s waterfront. The 10km and 5km routes follow flat, sealed roads that showcase the harbour, historic dockside buildings and open parkland. The shorter 1.5km and 500m courses stay within the park’s paved pathways, making them ideal for families and beginners. All distances are AIMS‑certified, fully marked, and feature gentle gradients with no technical terrain, ensuring a safe and scenic run for all abilities.
Getting There
From Devonport city centre, follow Best Street east to Haines Park. Parking is available at the multi‑story carpark on Best Street (road closures begin at 7:45 am). Public buses run regularly to the parkland precinct. Aim to arrive at least 20 minutes before your chosen start time to collect your bib and warm‑up.
