The 21.1km Half Marathon is for those seeking to stretch their fitness with a new challenge. The Half Marathon competitors will follow the 13.5km Classic route all the way to Emerald Lake Park before going beyond the finish zone.

After traversing a section of the Emerald-Cockatoo Walking Trail, you'll embark on a loop of the picturesque Wright Forest.

Within Wright Forest you'll be confronted with a series of challenging descents and climbs on dirt fire trails. If you're lucky (or have been running at just the right pace!), you'll be able to spot a Puffing Billy steam locomotive at the stunning 'No. 8 Wright Trestle Bridge'.

After completing the forest loop, you'll return to Emerald Lake Park to the cheers of your family and friends by crossing the footbridge over Lake Treganowan.

The course is a mixture of sealed asphalt roads, gravel walking tracks and dirt fire roads.
