Saturday , 11:00 am Event Village and Race Bib collection opens

Rond Terrace in Parkes serves as the start and finish area, with the course extending past the Old and New Parliament Houses and onto the wide, well-maintained roads surrounding King George Terrace. The event has the character of a competitive road race rather than a fun run: it is fast, flat, and suited for participants with determination, adrenaline, and inspiration, whether aiming for a personal best or completing their first race. On the course, essential amenities are provided: AIMS-certified routes, pacers for the longer distances, aid stations, live tracking, and numerous landmarks to focus on when the effort intensifies. Post-race, an active event village offers food, coffee, entertainment, massage and recovery services, cheer sign creation, spectator zones, finisher medals, and a PB Bell for those achieving a personal best.
