Point Addis marks the start of the main event, sending runners onto the "magical rainbow-infused course" along the "stunning Surf Coast Walk." The Afterglow Twilight Trail Half Marathon is a trail run with a penchant for glitter: part twilight adventure, part dress-up challenge, and welcoming to road runners wanting to get a bit muddy without tackling overly technical terrain.
The route is non-technical and clearly marked, with Fisherman’s Beach at the finish and Southside continuing the coastal atmosphere. A head torch is mandatory from the start, as daylight fades during the run and the finish occurs in darkness. Expect experienced trail runners, intrigued road runners, abundant "glow," and "trail unicorns" – runners sporting the brightest 80s attire. With a DJ, saxophonist, fire twirlers, rainbows, and yes, unicorns, the event embraces a "rainbow revolution."
