5KM DETAILS
5km - 8:15am start time - 10+ years
COURSE SUMMARY
Easy running on a mainly flat course, with some undulations to keep it interesting. The course offers a mix of running terrains including smooth hard packed dirt roads and sealed road surfaces.
Starting from outside Alison Park, entrants have a fast start down Korora Road before dropping down onto the picturesque Oneroa Beach. After exiting off the sand youíll head along Beach Parade. You will be well warmed up prior to your first short but steep rise which takes you up and over Oceanview Road into Blackpool. The 5km turn point is on The Esplanade right alongside the water. Youíll then charge around Blackpool before reaching your second and final longer hill (Ridge Road). At the top of the hill youíll hear the crowd cheer you in through the back entrance of Alison Park onto the finish line stage.
