INFORMATION FOR 2HR15MIN+ 10K RUNNERS
There is an alternate route for those participants who will be running at a 2hr 15min+ 10k pace. Participants who are unable to run at a sub 2hr 15min+ 10k pace on race day need to be aware that they will be redirected onto the footpaths if they do not meet any of the above road cut off times. Please note that the course on the footpaths is not measured to AIMS standards which means if you do not cross the finish line on the road by 11:00am, your race will not be AIMS-certified.
