Where Run Fest South West Rocks Half Marathon starts and finishes
Run Fest South West Rocks Half Marathon starts at Trial Bay Gaol, Trial Bay, South West Rocks, NSW. 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 Run Fest South West Rocks Half Marathon Route Breakdown
All courses begin at the historic Trial Bay Gaol and wind along the picturesque South West Rocks foreshore. The marathon follows a largely flat, paved route hugging the coastline, offering sea‑views and a gentle sea breeze. The half marathon shares much of the same scenery with a shorter turnaround. The 10km, 5km and 3km fun runs use looped sections of the beachfront promenade and parkland, making them family‑friendly and easy to navigate. Expect well‑marked paths, four aid stations and a finish line back at the gaol where medals await.

Training Strategy for Run Fest South West Rocks Half Marathon
10-14 weeks is a solid window for a first half marathon; 8-10 weeks is enough if you're already maintaining a baseline mileage. Build your long run up gradually rather than jumping straight to race distance.
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.
Reduce overall mileage across the final 7-10 days while preserving short race-pace bursts. Arrive at Trial Bay Gaol, Trial Bay, South West Rocks, NSW 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.
Half Marathon 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.
Fluid at the on-course stations is usually enough; some runners take a single gel around the hour mark.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
