U9 1.5km

Salisbury Park serves as the venue, with the children beginning at the podiums for a straightforward race suited for young runners. The directions are practical and suited for race day: “Start at podiums. Facing the podiums, turn left. Enter the exit of Thursdays.” From there, the route follows the Outerloop of Thursdays in reverse, proceeding clockwise. This offers a familiar course for those who know the regular Thursday loop, but experienced in the opposite direction. It seems like the type of children’s event where parents stay close to the start, helpers ensure the race progresses smoothly, and the finish emphasizes completing a clear, known loop with a sense of accomplishment rather than precise timing.
