This race is a relay where each team member covers the same 5 km course.  The race chute will serve as the start and finish (transition for runners 1, 2 and 3) for all team members.  

The race starts on the on the coastal pathway at the western end of the Penguin Surf Club building.  Runners head west on the coastal path towards Burnie for 2.5km, turn at the turn cone and return to the transition with the next runner or finish.   

The coastal path is 3.5m wide.  However, as runners will be travelling along the path in both directions throughout the race, competitors are reminded that they must keep to the left-hand side of the path at all times.  Please overtake slower runners only when safe to do so. 

Each team will be provided race bibs for each leg (4 total).  The first bib is to be worn by runner number 1, second bib to be worn by runner 2and so forth.   

All warmups should be completed on the pathway to the east of the Penguin Surf Club to avoid crossing the roads or interfering with those that are racing. Club members are asked to be courteous to members of the public using the coastal pathway at all times. 

There is limited parking at the Penguin Surf Club and we have a large number of entrants. Alternate parking is available at Johnson’s Beach, parking at this location offers a 1.5km warm up.

Race Brief:

The race starts at 9:30am at the Wynyard Yacht Club and follows the Coastal Pathway to the Burnie foreshore.  Runners start on the grassed area (Wynyard Parkrun start) immediately to the east of the yacht club.  The course then follows the coastal pathway past Rotary Park, taking the path to the coastal side of the park and continuing to follow the pathway.  At Somerset (approx. 10 km into the run) runners will leave the coastal pathway briefly due to road works on the path.  Once rejoining the pathways at the marked location, runners continue on the pathway which follows the Esplanade.  The drink station is next to the carpark opposite Falmouth St at ~10.5 km (drink bottle can be dropped off at the start line).  The coastal path continues on taking the coastal side of the Somerset surf club, to the Cam River Bridge.  The course crosses the bridge and continues on the pathway through Cooee, around the coastal side of West Park and the University of Tasmania campus, past the Penguin Centre and finishes on the Burnie foreshore. 

1. Runners must run on the left side of all paths and roads. 

2. Runners must not accept water and/or food outside of the designated drink station. If additional nutrition is required, runners must carry it with them. Please no littering on the course.

There will be a drink station at the ~10km mark, you need to place your own drink bottles in the collection crates at the start. Please make sure they have your name and number on them.

This is a mass start event. All runners will start at 6pm.

This is a simple out and back course along the pathway following the Mersey River. The meeting point is at the Bluff in Devonport. The course has lights along the full course, and it will be twilight when we start (Sunset 5:54, Dusk 6:21). It will be dark at the conclusion of the race. Head torches are not mandatory, though feel free to wear one if you would like. Please make sure you keep left at all times, and respect other users of the path. There can be some dark patches from 1km to 2km, so make sure you’re paying attention to where you are going. 

The race will start at the first light pole on the path near the playground at the Bluff. You will then head East out along the foreshore path, keeping left at all times (including at the split in the track approx 500m in). At approx 2km in, there are two pedestrian crossings at the boat ramp. You have right of way with traffic, but be vigilant and stop if necessary. At the fork after the second pedestrian crossing you will veer left and continue following the path along the river. After you go under the elevated walkway, you will continue straight along the river past the Harbourmaster Cafe. Continue to the end of the path where you will turn right across the train line. Immediately go left and continue following the path along Formby Road until you get to another fork at Petbarn. You will veer left, and you will find the turn around point shortly after. Head around the cone, and head back exactly the way you came, ensuring that you keep left to avoid any collisions with other runners. 

Presentations will be held shortly after the final runner crosses the line.
