Km markers

Each kilometre is marked on the road in fluoro and numbered. To halfway the kms go up, after halfway they are marked K’s to go.

The road verge is quite narrow in many places on both the Half Marathon course and the 10k. It is very important to keep as close as possible to the extreme right of the road and be very careful when passing other runners. Groups of runners please stay in single file. Thanks!
