Race start: 9:30am
This race is a relay where each team member covers the same 5 km course. The race chute will serve as the start and finish (transition for runners 1, 2 and 3) for all team members.
The race starts on the grass west of the Penguin Surf Club. Runners head east along the new coastal path towards Penguin, over the hill until the first turn opposite Johnson’s Beach, then return along the same route to the surf club. From there, runners avoid going through the race chute, instead continuing west along the new path for another 1 km. The second turn is immediately before Midway Point at Sulphur Creek. From there, runners return along the path back the surf club and the transition to the next runner.
The coastal path is 3.5m wide. However, as runners will be travelling along the path in both directions throughout the race, competitors are reminded that they must keep to the left-hand side of the path at all times. Please overtake slower runners only when safe to do so.
Each team will be provided with two race bibs only. The first bib is to be worn by runner number 1 and then given to runner 3 prior to the start of their leg. Similarly, the second bib is to be worn by runner 2 and then given to runner 4.
All warmups should be completed on the pathway to avoid crossing the roads, please be mindful of those that are racing.
There is limited parking at the Penguin Surf Club and we have a large number of entrants. Alternate parking is available at Johnson’s Beach, parking at this location offers a 1.5km warm up.
The Club and Sponsor will provide a BBQ after the event.
