The route follows well‑maintained footpaths along the shoreline, heading north through Palm Cove. At the Palm Cove jetty, participants reach the designated water stop and turn‑around point, then retrace the scenic coastal path back to Deadman's Gully for the finish. The course is flat, with gentle sea‑level undulations and plenty of ocean views, making it ideal for both walkers and seasoned runners. Toilets are available at the start/finish area and near the water stop, and basic first‑aid services are on hand throughout the event.

Training Strategy for Clifton Beach Series 3 - Race 2 10K
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 10K, whether it's your first or you're chasing a PB. Consistency and a weekly speed or threshold session matter more here than sheer mileage.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at the start line fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
10K Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
