Course description: Where's Waldo? He's looking for some shade on this course. So keep a lookout.
The second race of the series gets you started on the serious hills. These tracks are mostly quite wide, which will allow competitors easy passing opportunities and gorgeous views from the hilltops. However, the price to be paid is a lack of shade on the highest sections (long course). An abundance of kangaroos in this park may provide some happy distraction from your bursting lungs. Both the short and long course follow the same course for the initial few kilometres, which gives you a slight uphill warmup before the big climbs begin.
Courses will be well flagged - and marshalled at a few key intersections. We will do our best to keep you on course, but it is your responsibility to keep aware of the flagging.
Aid Stations:
Short course: One, at approximately 4 km's, providing water and electrolytes.
Long course: Two, at approximately 4 km's, providing water and electrolytes and 9 km's, providing water, electrolytes, and basic carbohydrates in the form of lollies or fruit.
