The 5k course starts and finishes at Giacopazzi's Gelato on Harbour Road, follows Harbour Road and Victoria Road, passes the High School and a new road around the golf course, includes a section of about 600 m on the golf club road before doubling back, and returns along Harbour Road. Crossing junctions at The Avenue, Stebbings Rise and the car park on the new road are marshalled. The route crosses a red bridge onto the middle pier; participants are asked to take care because it is a working harbour. A course map will be available at registration and on the event Facebook page.
