The race
About this course
Set against the backdrop of the Lakes Resort Golf & Country Club, this running challenge features a 5.5km circuit that winds through scenic asphalt and gravel paths. The course is designed as an anticlockwise loop, providing participants with a picturesque running experience.
Participants can choose to run solo or form relay teams of up to six members, allowing for a flexible approach to the event. The structure encourages camaraderie and community engagement, as laps are self-recorded on a lap board, fostering a relaxed atmosphere.
As a self-supported event, there are no aid stations along the route, which means runners need to prepare accordingly. Tent sites are available for those wishing to create a personal transition area, adding a touch of convenience for participants.
The event operates on a pay-what-you-want basis, with a portion of the funds raised directed towards the I Am Hope charity, reflecting a commitment to community support and engagement.
