Course

The Marathon course is a loop course of 21.1km, bringing you back to the Events Centre before starting the second lap for the Marathon. The 10km will be a fast out and back course with 10m of gain throughout.

The scenery of the event is really that of Selwyn, with the Town of Lincoln and all the development going on, coupled with the Country and Rural feel, with the run through a winery. The route takes you through Rossendale Wines off the Akaroa Highway and back out onto Old Tai Tapu Road.

This is a fast course and we are expecting some great times for both the Full and Half Marathons and 10km

There will be cups at all locations, you do not have to bring your own cup or use a camelbak as many are doing now days. If you do run wih a vest you can refill bottles and/or bladders at the drink stations.
