RACE INFORMATION
Race Start and Finish
The race has a start and finish in North Hagley Park, close to the intersection of Riccarton Road, Riccarton Ave and Deans Ave. See the map below.
The course uses a loop of approximately 1.6KM although this has been measured for the 5KM events to ensure the distance and reflected times are as accurate as possible taking into account the start and finish. The surface is all concrete apart from the finish which has a 50m grass surface. Runners/walkers can elect to run on the grass beside the concrete path if they prefer.
