Details
Run from Tauranga to Mount Maunganui, but has been run in the reverse direction. Tauranga to Mount Maunganui is the better direction as running around the base of Mount Maunganui is easier when the 12 km walkers are not already walking the track as is the case when the start is at Mount Maunganui.
The course is nearly completely flat apart from running the base track of Mount Maunganui which has a few small up and downs. There are some scenic parts, especially around the Mount, but the rest of it is less scenic though the cement farm, and along the beach road (the beach is hidden behind the dunes for most of the run).
Fairly quick route, and a PB is definitely possible as long as you don't get trapped by 5 walkers walking side by side on the Mount track.
