NEWFLASH FOR NewRUN - small course change

Newcastle’s Running Festival, held April 18-19, will return to the 2013 schedule of events, offering a half marathon, 10km, 5km and 2km race for kids.

This year the event will NOT run onto the sea-wall of the Nobby;s Breakwall. This is the bit with ocean both sides. The 700m in distance will be regained by moving the main western turn point from Wharf Rd to the Honeysuckle Foreshore. Great spot to turn and a great spot for lunch afterwards. The 1/2 Marathon runner will go another 550m past this, on the start of their event.
