Race course

Starting near the diving platform, the race follows Wellington’s waterfront past Te Papa, on to the bridge by the marina, around the Clyde Quay wharf, and onto Oriental Bay to the turnaround just past Carlton Gore Road and back to the start.

The course is marshalled at the Clyde Quay wharf turn, the traffic turnaround at the north end of Clyde Quay wharf, and at the turnaround.

The waterfront is very popular with beachgoers and cyclists, particularly during the Summer months, so we ask that all participants be courteous to other users of the course.
