This is a mass start event. All runners will start at 6pm. Handicaps will be applied post race to determine the winner of the handicap event. The winner and placegetters will be announced on the night, with the full results and handicaps being posted to the website later that night. The nominated time event will be held at 5:30pm.
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 5:47, Dusk 6:15). 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.

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.

Half Marathon Handicaps
Teams Half Marathon Handicaps
Both the Teams Half-Mara and Individual Half-Mara events will start at 9.30am. These two events are conducted concurrently over the same course. A nominated time event will be held at 9am at the Football Ground.
Competitors running in the teams’ marathon will each be provided with a unique colour-coded bib and these can be collected prior to the race start. Runners in the individual marathon must wear their Club numbers.
The meeting place for this race is Turners Beach Football Ground (Henry St). Please park cars at the Football Ground. The race commences on the Esplanade opposite the Turners Beach Playground and Hall, on the Pathway. The drink station will be here for individual runners as will the change over point for team runners.
The course is out-and-back in both directions with the run East done first. Run on the sea side (North side) of the Esplanade in Turners Beach when going both directions.
The course is mostly flat – there is one short hill in the first half at Leith. The first turn in Lillico is just prior to Lillico Road (at the end of the straight section of path). The second turn in Ulverstone is just past the toilets on Beach Road When approaching the turn-around sign on Beach Road, Ulverstone, you may run on the sea side of the road, rather than the windy concrete path (take care).
Runners need to supply their own drinks in clearly marked bottles with their Bib number. These can be placed at the start/finish line.
Post-race presentations will take place in the Turners Beach Club clubrooms. There will be soup available for runners, volunteers and supporters. There are toilet and shower facilities available.
NB: at the end of the Esplanade run down the grassy lane and not around through the bush as was done in the 3x2x3.km Teams race. Follow the arrows. We are not using the Coastal Pathway along Susan St.
