Athletes will start the run by turning right out of transition after completing their bike leg. Runners will make their way down towards the WIN entertainment centre, running along the Marine Drive footpath, athletes will cross Crown St and turn left to make their way around the waterside of the WIN Entertainment centre. The turn around point for this run course is on the footpath near the corner of Bank St, after turning around athletes will head back along the footpath.
