The cycle leg leaves transition and rides left onto Swan St. This is a stiff short rise, so riders should start in an appropriate gear. The course proceeds the length of Swan St. Riders have right of way at the bridge STOP sign. The bridge side of Swan St is closed to traffic until Robert St. The course then returns to roads that are open to resident traffic only. We will have traffic controllers in several locations to manage any local traffic and give riders right of way where required.

The run leg leaves the bike compound and runs into Steamer St, which is an unused road just 50m from the compound that is partly gravel and partly grass. There is some uneven ground for the first 500m, so pay attention. There is plenty of even ground to run on. Where Steamer St meets Morpeth Rd runners will turn and return to the compound area and turn left to run along Queens Wharf Rd to a turn point and back to the compound. Complete the number of laps required. There are lap counter timing points at each lap.
