The Course
All races start from the Dutton Park end of the Eleanor Schonell ('Green') Bridge on Sunday October 19th 2014.
The event is conducted on a delightful 10km riverside course which initially crosses the Green Bridge before moving into the beautiful grounds of UQ and following a soft and smooth compacted dirt track, then out on to a broad smooth path by the river and golf course. The 5km turnaround is located at the first aid station near the colleges on upland road.
The 10km and half-marathoners continue on past the aid station, moving onto a few scenic hilly sections of foot path and board walk before reaching the western turnaround and aid station and then heading back to the start / finish line. The half-marathoners will complete two laps of the 10km course along with an initial 1.1km section.
There will be a three hour cut off for the Half-Marathon race.
A full course briefing will be conducted at 7.55am on race day.
