Details
Course is a bit up and down, and the last couple of km is mostly up. However, it is possible to set a fast time regardless. The course feels quite rural, with minimal traffic. The run around Herald Island is especially pleasant. Much of the run is on road rather than pavemnet, so tends to be fast.
