Course Information

Changes made to the course to improve runner and spectator experience:

• Race course no longer passes by the main entrance ➔ Smoother spectator flow without bottleneck waiting for gates to open.

• Same wide grass start, go straight for ~200m on grass and then a less sharp left turn to join the main loop.

• Run two laps of the main loop, then on to the finish.

• Finish line moved in front of grandstand ➔ Finishing straight 3x longer than before for more exciting sprint finishes.

• The Fairplex has flattened the little hill round the back of the course ➔ Practically no elevation change on the new course.

• More hardpack dirt, less paved surfaces  ➔ New course only has ~300m paved, previously ~1000m on pavement.
