The course then heads east to a turning point at the5km mark. The course returns west along the Bass Highway until it intersects Wilson Street and turns right for the final 550 metre dash to the finish line. The Kid’s 800m Dash will start and end under the arch on Wilson Street. Kid’s will run 400m down Wilson Street and back. The Elphinstone Group 5km course begins identically to the Strait Link Burnie 10 and turns at the River Road junction with the Bass Highway, 2.5km from the start.

There is a 2 hour time limit for the 10km.
Participation is one of the key attributes of the Strait Link Burnie Ten.
Due to the need to return our course to highway traffic within 2 hours, it is imperative we consider any competitors that may be outside our time limit.
The Strait Link Burnie Ten will accommodate all participants competing in all events.
Any participant that is likely to exceed the 2 hour limit, will be provided with alternative options to ensure they can still participate fully & complete as many kilometres (up to 10) that they would like.
Participants will be guided on course & given every encouragement to complete their preferred distance.
