Course Description

Start in Bowring Park near the Caribou Memorial, heading east. Exit the Park through the East Gate, turning right into the coned running lane on Waterfordbridge Road. Take a right onto Old Bay Bulls Road at the bridge, then an immediate left onto Southside Road.

Stay eastbound on Southside to Blackhead Road where you take a left turn over the bridge to reach the right turn into the coned curb lane on Water Street. Continue east as you turn right onto Harbour Drive. At the end of Harbour Drive come back to Water Street and continue east to Temperance.

After climbing Temperance, scoot through the end of Quidi Vidi Road to Empire Avenue. Follow Empire to Kingsbridge Road and round the corner to your right onto Lake. At the end of Lake, take a quick out-and-back on Clancey before using Carnell to get to The Boulevard.

Follow The Boulevard east onto Quidi Vidi Village Road and continue onto Forest Road, now heading west. Turn left from Forest onto Empire and retrace your steps to the bottom of Temperance Street.

Run the entire length of Water Street heading west, until it forks onto Waterfordbridge Road. Then continue on Waterfordbridge all the way to the left turn into Park Road and the West Gate of Bowring Park.

When you reach the Fountain Pond, take a right for another short out-and back, before continuing past the pool, over the bridge, and a sharp right turn to the finish line.

If you are in the Half Marathon, this is your finish. If you are in the Marathon or Marathon Relay, you will start your second loop from here, running down to the East Gate.
