Notes

• Although Railton is usually quiet on Sunday mornings, keep to the right hand side of all roads and be aware of any traffic.
• This race is a deferred penalty race; handicaps are done for the feature race.
• Special note, it is possible on this race to take home the chocolates without winning. 😊

The race start will be outside Berry Patch Café. Runners head west along Blackburn Dr onto the footpath towards the roundabout, then turn right onto Turners Beach Rd.  The course heads north, crossing to the left side of the road at designated spot and continuing onto the Esplanade.  It follows the Esplanade for approximately 1.5 km until its end.  At the end of the Esplanade, runners then turn left onto the grassed area through the bush until they link up with the new pathway boardwalk. Coming off boardwalk, runners go through a rocky section that will bring them out to cross Boyes St onto a vacant block.  The course then crosses over the railway track, through the bush and turns right when it hits Blackburn Dr, towards the start/finish.  This completes one lap.  The race will be two laps of this course.

• Care is needed crossing the train line and on the unsealed sections.
• Traffic can be an issue in the vicinity of la Mar.
