| Route Description: |
Route Type: Lap
The half marathon is one lap of the marathon route. This undulating course starts with a one-kilometre climb. The next six kilometres are mainly downhill before you hit a short, sharp hill. Between the eight- and nine-kilometre marker boards, expect to work on a reasonably steep climb, which thankfully flattens out for the next two kilometres.
There is a long, slow pull in the second half of the lap between the 11- and 13-kilometre markers. Once over this you will find the running to the 16-kilometre marker board pleasantly downhill to flat. Shoulder in to another gentle pull of about two kilometres, which will take you to the 18-kilometre marker. The final stretch to the finish is an enjoyable flat to downhill experience with no problems.
