Course Details

The race route starts by the Pavillion Cafe on Melville Drive and flows onto the inner peritmeter path in a clockwise direction, the route then joins the tarmac path which runs adjacent to Lonsdale Terrace and continues up and round North Meadow Walk to the far side of the East Meadows play park and joins the inner footpath again which runs adjacent to Melville Drive.

It then cuts diagonally North West across the park at Boys Brigade Walk. At the top of Middle Meadow Walk the route cuts back down diagonally South West down Jawbone Walk and in front of the Pavillian Café to start the second lap.
