The 12k run/walk creates an atmosphere of excitement, nervous energy and anticipation. So why not join in the fun, create a new goal for yourself, your team or your family!
The 12k start has the highest number of participants. Imagine being amongst the crowd of people who fill King William St - it is truly a spectacular sight; be inspired, join over 26,000 others and register to participate.
There are always the serious athletes, the elite runners from all over Australia but overwhelmingly the majority of people are there for the fun. There will be people dressed up supporting charities or advertising local groups and businesses. As you proceed down the course you can soak up the road side entertainment and the encouragement of fellow participants or by-standers.
When you reach the Bay you will find yourself "surprised" that you made it; maybe because you've achieved a new personal best, or maybe just that you got to the end!

As you run through the finish, you will be approached by a marshal with a timing wand. This is a necessary double check and finalisation of your time.
Do not arrange to meet friends or family in the compound - keep moving!
Do not stop on the finish line. Walk quickly through the channels past the marshals with the timing wands.
Water will be available in the compound
Do not hand in your TAG/RACE NO. it is a keepsake!
