Doolan Crescent serves as the starting point for a direct runner-runner event, with Griffith Feral Joggers organizing the Half on the Hill. The structure is uncomplicated: a solo half marathon, or a team of two where each participant covers half the distance. It has the feel of a local race where regulations are precise, timing is accurate, and participants line up with a clear understanding of their commitment.
Prior to the start, all participants attend a required race briefing, indicative of the event's straightforward nature. Men's, women's, and mixed teams compete, alongside individual male and female categories for runners aged 16 and over. A notable detail is that the winners for each category will be revealed only after all participants have finished, and every competitor will receive a finisher's medallion.
