Overview

Half marathon runners will complete two laps on undulating tracks and trails around Sherwood Pines.

The route uses the trails, bridleways and footpaths within Sherwood Pines. The half marathon is a two-lap route with 10K runners completing a single lap of their course only. The marathon is a new addition to the event with runners completing a brand new route. 

This definitely isn't a flat route; you can expect an undulating course with a few challenging inclines and, naturally, some downhill, primarily taking place on hard track. However, some sections of the route may be muddy, especially if the weather has been inclement during the days leading up to race day.
