One of the world's fastest halves — cool September mornings, cheering city.
Because uninterrupted rhythm is medicine — this course lets the body forget the clock.
A short, honest distance. Ride the second lap with the breath of the first.

Race Day
Practical & atmospheric notes
Kind shoulder-season conditions — mild mornings, arm-sleeves off by kilometre eight for most runners.
A warm regional start — clubs in matching kit, coffee vans, a local mayor with a microphone. Human-scale and unhurried.
Steady, generous local support along the main boulevards and finish straight; genuine strangers-turned-friends handing out orange slices in the suburbs.
A quieter stretch usually opens up between km 7 and km 13 — an interior mile to return to yourself before the final push.
Sealed city tarmac — closed to traffic on race day
The official road is fully sealed and step-free on race day. Handcyclists routinely start with the elite wave; strollers welcome in the shakeout events.
