IMPORTANT NOTICE: We a new Half Marathon Course for this year. Due to the construction on Stanley Blvd we are having to move parts of the Half Marathon course. It's a blessing in disguise because it's much more scenic. All half marathon participants will complete the 10K course and on returning to Robertson Park instead of heading to the finish line they will take a turn over the bridge and out to the trails south of the park and into the vineyards and hills by Holdener Park. The new section of the course is shown on the images below.
The new course maps and profile can be downloaded here. The new course south of Robertson Park is entirely on paved trail (with a crushed granite equestrian trail running alongside) and there are no street crossings or intersections. More details on the half marathon event page.
THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE COURSE FOR 2011 FOR 10K or 5K RUNNERS.
To accommodate this new course and give the half marathoners a chance to reach the turn around and avoid congestion we are making a change in the start times.
