Course Description
Starting in the Myponga Reserevoir Reserve adjacent to Hansen Street, you will initially head west along the shared use trails.

Drink Stations
There will be one drink station at the 3.5 km point of the Myponga Loop Short Course serving water only.
Only compostable cups made from plant-based materials will be used at the Myponga Loop to minimize our impact on the environment. Please try to hit the bins provided at the water stations and be aware that littering on the course will result in disqualification. Runners may also carry their own drink bottle or cup to refill at water stations.
Toilets
Toilets can be found at the start-finish area, then at the 3.5 km and 6.5 km points on the Myponga Loop Short Course.
Cut Off Time
The Myponga Loop Short Course is open to both runners and walkers and the course will be progressively closed at a pace of 12:30 per kilometre (equivalent to a finish time of 1.5 hours).
A tail walker will follow the last participant around the course for safety reasons and to relieve marshals from their positions.
Marshals
Please be courteous to our marshals and other volunteers. Remember that they are giving up their Sunday morning to make sure that you will enjoy your run.
ALWAYS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY COURSE MARSHALS.
Presentations
Trophies will be awarded to the first 3 males and first 3 females place-getters in the Myponga Loop Short Course.
Presentations will be made at the finish line around 10:00 am.
