It would be appreciated if you could check-in and collect your race number the day before the race to ensure race day runs smoothly. You can collect on behalf of someone else providing you know their details.
The Half Marathon Course
The start line is a 250m walk from the Livibrook Complex, through the underpass to the northern side of the Richmond Deviation. Please note that the trail is open to other uses (walkers, runners & cyclists) and you must take care at all times. There are 4 short sections where the trail shares a roadway and several road crossings - please be conscious of vehicles, pay attention to marshals and give way where necessary - you do not have right of way.
The Half course first heads west along the shared use Great Taste Trail towards Richmond for about 900m before turning around a cone and coming back. The course then heads north following the shared use Great Taste Trail towards Moturoa/Rabbit Island with the backdrop of the Mt Arthur range. There will be arrows and marshals to point you in the right direction.
At 11.3km you reach the Half turn-around next to the swing bridge across the Waimea River. You may meet 2-way foot traffic & bikes near the bridge.
Turn-around and follow the Great Taste Trail heading back towards the Finish line covering familiar territory. On the return journey the tide will have changed, the light will be different, the backdrop of hills will now be of the Richmond ranges and the temperatures will have risen. Depending on your pace, you may meet or overtake members of the other events - you all finish in the same place, in the car park outside Eddyline Pizzeria.
