10km Series Freshwater Loop #4

This event is the fourth and final run in a local 10 km series held at Walter Nesbit Park in Pallarenda. The course combines both trail and road surfaces, so participants may consider wearing trail shoes. Start and finish are at Pallarenda Park.

Two course options are offered:

10 km long course starting and finishing at Pallarenda Park
5 km short course starting and finishing at Pallarenda Park

Course layouts are available as full maps from the organiser. Entry is free for members and costs $6 for non members. The event is presented by Townsville Road Runners and is described as a club run within the series framework.

The description supplied notes a mix of natural trail sections and road sections along the loop. References to maps indicate specific route detail, and both distances are listed as trail runs originating from the same park location. No specific start or finish times are included here.
