General Information
The start/finish line is directly next to Seymour Square on Seymour Street, Blenheim. All 4 courses will start and finish from this area. Competitors will run from the start in a northerly direction  to the end of Seymour Street for  about 100m and then straight over and onto the Taylor River walkway cycling system. There will be water stations provided every 5 kilometers. Both water and our preferred sports drink will be available from these stations. Each kilometer will be marked for both the full and half marathon distances. There will be toilets at approximately the 10, 20 and 30km marks.

Once on the Taylor River runners will head in a westerly direction and have the opportunity of running on either the purpose built  concrete path or grass for the first 3km. Runner will stay on eastern side of the Taylor River.  From the Burleigh Bridge the course is a well maintained gravel track from the 3km mark to the 7km mark where it meets Ben Morven Rd which is sealed.  Runners make their way around what is commonly known as the "Ben Morven Circuit"  where they turn left onto New Renwick Road which is sealed road surface. Participants will then turn left into the Brancott Road and make their way up the valley and turn right onto Wrekin Rd. There is a 3km section of gravel road from the end of Wrekin Road over into the Omaka Valley. It s back onto sealed road around the Hawkesbury Circuit before heading down to Dog Point Road.  Once at the end of Dog Point Road runners will turn right onto New Renwick Road and make their way back to the Burleigh Bridge, back onto the Taylor River walkway and back to the start/finish.
