Hey All,
Well having done these for a few years now, we thought that we need one more! So, we now have 3 training runs of the new C2S Course
This is an open invite to any members who for example may not have the course before, or those who are well-acquainted with route, but are trying to hit a goal time! We are unable to exactly simulate what is the largest fun run in the World, as we don’t know 70-80,000 odd people, but we can help with our experience of the course and in your preparation!
With it being racing season, planning dates for this do coincide with some races, and am sorry if you have signed up for races on that day and wanted to may be do the trip from the City to Bondi! This is a great opportunity to not only get onto the course, but also how to get to the start and the best way to attack the course. So –
Dates:
29 May 2016,
19 June 2016
29 July 2016
Start Time: 8:00am (you must be ready to go at this time)
Location: North-Eastern corner of intersection College and Park Streets (Cook & Phillip Park Aquatic Centre)
Finish: Campbell Parade, Bondi
Distance: 14km

You MUST bring a copy of the course map with you.
Drinkstops = One at approx. 7km (just at top of HBH – bring labelled drinks bottles), alternatively bring Hydration Pack/Water Bottles to carry
Bag Drop = YES (The vehicle with bags will leave Start Location at 8:00am)
Toilets = There are some, but try to get rid of excess baggage prior to run. Note pacers won’t stop
Entry = Free!
At Finish = Your Bag
Breakfast 10:00am – must advise if attending breakfast, so we can book. Please tell me if you’d like to have breakfast!
Anyone can do the run, but for those who may be looking at a specific time, am hoping for pacers for the following times = 60mins, 75mins and 90mins.
The pacing groups will stick to the times.

- Bring halfway drinks (labelled)
- Bring post-race drinks
- Bring Course map (in plastic bag)
