3km, 6km, 10km and 21km.

Flat, fun and fantastic.
This is the event for those just getting into running/walking and is perfect for young kids or families.
Starting and finishing at Buffalo Beach your loop course is 100% flat on hard packed beach trails or footpaths.
At the halfway point, there will be a fun aid station with loads of lollies.
And yes at the finish, you get a medal too!
