HALF MARATHON
The Athletes Foot Half Marathon starts and finishes within the Gosling Creek Reserve.
After completion of part of the internal Gosling Creek loop, exit out onto Forest Road and head in a southerly direction (keeping to the right hand side of the road). Following completion of the “loop” down Orchard Road, return to Gosling Creek Reserve along Forest Road. Upon re-entering Gosling Creek Reserve complete the internal Gosling Creek loop to the finish line.
The course is on bitumen sealed roads and paths within Gosling Creek Reserve. Drink stations are located along the course with both water and sports drink. Our half-marathon course has been World Athletics/AIMS certified and is eligible for earning ranking points, and for championships and events requiring qualification times.
To help you with your Half Marathon training, triathlete and coach Owain Matthews has prepared a 12-week training plan for Beginner or Intermediate runners.
