Looking for a marathon PB, then this is it. This AIMS certified, flat scenic course will traverse the Newcastle Harbour and Beaches. Starting on Wharf Rd, next to The Station (old Railway Station) the course will run east along wharf Rd and past Nobbys, towards Newcastle Baths and Surf Club. Marathon runners will stay on the right or city side of Shortland Esplanade. Runners will turn before Zaara St near Newcastle Surf Club and head back to Nobbys where the course goes onto the newly renovated Break-wall for an out and back section. Then they head back to Queens Wharf and run toward Argyle St. At Argyle St they will enter the Honeysuckle Broad Walk and follow this along the Harbour's edge until Worth Place where runners will continue on the new Batherway footpath to a turn point about into the Marina area. They then run the same way back to The Station to complete one lap. They do 4 Laps. The course is 50% on closed roads and 50% on wide footpaths, where runners will have right of way and be protected within marked chutes. There is some skinny sections and we ask you to respect other runners space. Marshals will monitor high traffic areas. Do not be surprised by the elevation map. This course is flat the whole way except for one small short rise before Newcastle Baths. There will be timing check points at strategic sites and the start/lap.
