The half marathon is one lap of the marathon route. This undulating route starts with an easy downhill canter and for the next six kilometres you enjoy an easy downhill stretch before you hit a short, sharp hill. Between the six- and 11-kilometre markers there are three small bumps, but the going over this section is slow and steady as you work your way up to the highest point and the 14-kilometre marker. Once over this you will find running to the 16-kilometre marker pleasantly downhill to flat. Shoulder into another gentle pull of about two kilometres which takes you to the 18-kilometre marker. The final stretch to the finish is an enjoyable flat to downhill experience with no problems.
