As a handicap-format 10km, execution is shaped by pacing discipline and staying engaged throughout the full distance. Runners can expect a sustained effort where early control matters, followed by a strong second half to manage passing and being passed. With start and finish at the Ocean Grove Surf Lifesaving Club, planning logistics around the morning schedule and start procedures is part of the day’s demands.
Who This Event Suits Best
