This weeks race see’s a course change from previous years with a move to predominately off-road single track mountain bike trails within the Penguin Mountain Bike Park.
Runners meet at the Penguin Athletics Track, starting on the grassed parking area above the track. Runners will head West, crossing Sports Complex Avenue adjacent to the Dog Exercise area. Runners turn left on to the mountain bike trails just prior to the intersection with Ironcliffe Rd.
The course then follows the track for approximately 300m, making a short dog leg to cross over the lower Mountain Bike carpark driveway. After another short uphill trail, runners will continue onto the upper Mountain Bike Park driveway until the single trail continues to the South. Continue along the mountain Bike tracks following the markings until the first of two wooden off camber platforms. At the end of the first platform runners take a left turn at the tyre stack onto the second off camber platform, runners may choose to run to the left of this platform as it can be slippery especially in the wet. Runners continue to follow the single trail downhill to behind the North West Environment Centre. Passing the dam, runners begin the ascent back up to the main carpark and along the single trail until they come out behind the junior skills area. Runners take an anti-clockwise loop of the old bitumen speedway until they make it to the upper Mountain Bike Park driveway where they return to the Penguin Athletics Track via the same route as initially taken.
A nominated time event will commence at 9am.
