The attractive 15 kilometre Coelacanth Route takes you along the top of the Western Head with views across the sheer cliffs of the Eastern Head and out over the Indian Ocean towards Buffalo Bay. It is a demanding race as you climb from sea level onto the ridgeline above the Heads. There is some respite on the downhill sections as you clatter into Lake Brenton and along the Outeniqua Choo-Choo railway bridge to the finish. The shorter 11 kilometre Seahorse Route takes a more direct line to the end. You are driven to the top of the Western Head by the Featherbed Nature Reserve 4x4 truck and seated trailer. For the unsure or unfit this is the way of discretion.
