Course notes describe beach running, cliff top trails, flowing single track and sections through Ironbark Basin. The long course includes a loop to Point Roadknight and extended coastal views. The short course climbs to a highpoint lookout before descending to the beach. The Friendly 4 km loops to Point Roadknight and returns along the beach when tides allow.
Course marking varies by distance and uses colored arrows, colored surveyor tape and white flour arrows. Surveyor tape will confirm correct tracks at junctions and competitors should follow the most major track at intersections when not otherwise marked. A recorded finish line sprint time over the final 100 to 200 m will identify fastest male and female sprinters. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
