About the event

All races start from the main rotunda at the Albert Street entrance to the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens on Sunday March 1st 2014.

The event is conducted on a delightful course, initially through the City Botanic Gardens before heading out along the Bicentennial Bikeway on the city side of the Brisbane river. There are aid stations equipped with water and electrolyte every 2.5km. The course is fast and flat.

The 5km race follows an out and back route turning around at the 2.5km turnaround. The 10km race follows the same course, continuing on past the 2.5km turnaround, eventually turning around at the 5km aid station. The 15km race completes the 5km course first and then the 10km course.    

There will be a 2:10 cut off for the 15km race.

A full course briefing will be conducted at 7.25am on race day.
