Orleigh Park serves as the start and finish, with the course following the Brisbane River. This is club racing in the direct Brisbane Road Runners manner: BRRC members use their usual bibs, visitors obtain temporary ones, and all participants aim to complete the run efficiently.
The practical details are important: "Arrive early to allow time for parking, bib collection, and warm-up," and "Be at the start line by 5:50 am for the safety briefing." Bring your own water; tables are provided near the start/finish, and the setup concludes when timing finishes. Bananas are available after the run, free coffee is offered on championship days, and "No late entries or on-the-day registration" means you must register beforehand.
