The course follows paved paths along the waterfront and is described as flat. Road running shoes are recommended. The 5k turns back at the 2.5 km point and the 10k turns back at the 5 km point. The half marathon begins with a 1.1 km out and back toward Hampton and then completes the 10k section twice. The route is suitable for buggies and is wheelchair friendly. The course may be altered up to event day if necessary.
