The start is beside Ferg's Kayaks and the course heads out past Te Papa, down to Cable St, past the New World, around to Oriental Parade footpath to the cone (near the bus stop, about 200m beyond the end of the beach) and returns the same way. When you cross the finish line, please stay in finishing order until we record your number. Toilets are available on the wharf or in the Loaded Hog.

History of the 5k series We began these 5k series in the spring of 2000 (August and September), with a double loop course around Thorndon. In those days the name sponsor was Magills (a now defunct pub on Thorndon Quay). The idea of the spring series was to get people ready for road racing (such as the road relays). This course required lots of marshalls because of all the road crossings. In the autumn, we changed to course to a single out-and-back along the Old Hutt Road - no road crossings. The idea of the timing was to get people endurance-fit for winter sports (including harriers!). That's the way it stayed for several years, except we moved the start out to the end of the retail area (beside the paint shop) to provide a wider footpath with fewer vehicles crossing. After Magills folded, Bodyworks took up the name sponsorship for a season. In Autumn 2005, we moved to the waterfront and a new name sponsor (Lifestyle Sports, who still remain as a sponsor) with a course around the Overseas Passenger Terminal and out to Oriental Bay and straight back, starting from the brewery on Taranaki Wharf. Then in August 2005, we began a longer Spring series under the name sponsorship of the Loaded Hog, an out-and-back course to the end of Oriental Bay starting from outside the kayak and climbing store. The Loaded Hog also provides a congenial location after the race to hold a prize giving and relax while rehydrating. |
