Where Launceston Running Festival 10K starts and finishes
Launceston Running Festival 10K starts at Launceston City (start/finish details TBC). We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Full Launceston Running Festival 10K Route Breakdown
The Launceston Running Festival winds through the historic heart of Tasmania’s second‑largest city. The half‑marathon starts outside the Peppers Silo Hotel on Lindsay Street, follows a flat, fast circuit along the Tamar River, passes the iconic Cataract Gorge bridge and loops back via Doyne and Gleadow Streets before finishing on Kings Wharf Road with river views. The 10 km follows a similar route, cutting the loop after two laps. The 5 km and 1‑mile start on the same streets, offering a quick sprint through the city centre. All courses are fully sealed roads, well‑marked and provide ample hydration stations.

Training Strategy for Launceston Running Festival 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 Launceston City (start/finish details TBC) 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.
