The Quarter Marathon is one mostly flat loop with about 17 m elevation and a mix of concrete, fine gravel and tar. The 5 km route is largely flat with minimal elevation change. The 2 km kids run is basically flat over gravel tracks and sports fields.
There are four aid stations on the Half Marathon course and two on the Quarter Marathon course; each drink station will carry basic first aid supplies, mobile phones and a radio. Toilets are provided at the start/finish area and there are additional port-a-loos on the courses. Medals are awarded to all finishers.

Parking is provided by Hautapu Sports Club for a gold coin donation, with pedestrian access to the registration area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
