2005/6 Course Overview

The new course is a 3 x 3.3k lap then 100m to finish off.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF TRAFFIC - THE ROADS ARE NOT CLOSED.

The start is on the waterfront next to the cave near Mrs Mac's Point opposite the Opera House. Runners head south along the waterfront, then take the left hand path up to the road. Right up the footpath to the freeway.

The 1k mark is just over the freeway right on the corner where the course turns a hard right along next to the freeway, before the restaurant. Down the hill on the pathway, ignoring the first hard left turn in the path. Continue up the hill taking the left handpath towards the back of Parliment House. Halfway up this hill is a hydrant cover on the left. Turn across the grass here, heading for the large tree next to the path. At the 5 way path intersection take the path towards St Mary's, a dog leg that rejoins the main north-south path next to Art Gallery rd. Left down the path alongside Art Gallery Rd back to the freeway.

2k is at the crossing, where the course takes the right hand fork in the road and heads for Boy Charlton Pool. WATCH FOR CARS AGAIN - THE ROAD IS NOT CLOSED. Just past Boy Charlton Pool (still on the road) take the footpath down to the waterfront.

3k is on Mrs Macs Point, down to the waterfront again, and past the start. Repeat twice more!

4k is on the uphill footpath near the 2k,

5k is opposite the Art Gallery,

6k is just as the path reaches the waterfront after Boy Charlton,

7k is on the footpath just after reaching the road after going past the start line,

8k is at the top of the dog leg,

9k is outside Boy Charlton on the road, and

10k is past the start, along the waterfront, and just before the gates to the Botanic Gardens on the waterfront.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL - THE ROADS ARE NOT CLOSED TO TRAFFIC. We have marshalls out there, but Sydney drivers will be Sydney drivers.
