Event Details
Course Description
The challenge takes place on a 2.5 km loop around Dennis Park’s Tannum Seagulls football fields. The circuit is predominantly grass with sections of dirt and bitumen, offering a mixed‑terrain feel. Gentle undulations and occasional uneven patches keep participants alert, while the coastal setting provides fresh sea breezes and views of the Boyne River. Aid stations are positioned at the start/finish area, and the loop repeats for the chosen time slot, allowing walkers and runners to gauge their effort and enjoy the festive atmosphere that builds around the park each hour.
Getting There
From Gladstone, follow the Bruce Highway north for ~20 km, then turn right onto Pioneer Drive. Follow signs to Dennis Park on the Tannum Seagulls football fields. Free parking is available on‑site. Arrive at least 30 minutes before the 6 PM start for registration and the mandatory briefing.
