Winter Course
Mondays - during winter time (April-September) - walkers 6:10pm, joggers 6:20pm, runners 6:30pm, meet at the front door of the Northcote Tavern
The start line is the crack in the pavement outside the main entrance of the Northcote Tavern on Queen St. Head towards the city, and loop around the roundabout, then back along Queen St. Turn left onto Clarence Rd and follow Clarence until the T-junction with Rodney Rd. Turn right onto Rodney Road then right again onto Queen St. Continue south on Queen St back to the Tavern. Lap 1 Complete! Lap 2 is identical to Lap 1 except we finish about 200 metres past the Tavern at the bus stop by Jean Sampson Reserve, just before the roundabout, or whenever your timing device says 5kms is up.
Summer Course
Mondays - during daylight saving (late September-April) - walkers 6:10pm, joggers 6:20pm, runners 6:30pm, sign in at the garden entrance to the Northcote Tavern lounge bar; starts from the car park entrance on Princes Street
Start at back of Northcote Tavern on Princes Street. Run north on Princes, turn left onto Duke Street then left again onto Queen Street. Continue south on Queen Street, through the roundabout and down the hill to the wharf. At the wharf climb the stairs at the bottom of Queen Street and follow the path up to Princes Street. Continue north on Princes Street, past the Tavern and turn left onto Duke Street then right onto Queen Street. Continue north on Queen (don’t forget to look out for little Beau and give him a high five – he’s typically dressed up as a superhero!). Turn right onto Beach Road then left onto Alfred Street, down the hill, onto the flat then first left onto Milton Road. Head up Milton, turn left onto Richmond Avenue then immediately right onto Bartley Street. At the corner by The Engine Room turn right onto Queen Street then left onto Vincent Road, right onto Clarence Road and left onto Council Terrace. At the bottom of the Council Terrace hill turn left into the Little Shoal Bay access road, through the path by the playground and up the stairs behind the Sea Scouts Den. At the top of stairs turn right onto Clarence Road then, at the Bridgeway, left onto Queen Street. Turn right onto Stafford Road and head down to the bottom of Stafford Road and right onto Nelson Avenue (opposite Stafford Park). Stay right on Nelson Avenue then left onto Alfred Street and all the way up the horrible hill before a right onto Beach Road (and a tiny bit more hill sorry but we promise that’s the last one!). Turn left onto Queen Street (Beau will probably be in bed now but another high five if he’s still there) then continue south on Queen Street to the Tavern, left onto King Street before a swift left onto Princes Street and FINISH at the same place we started!
