Where Run Moana 5K starts and finishes
Run Moana 5K starts at Moana Surf Club. 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.

Training Strategy for Run Moana 5K
4-8 weeks is enough for a 5K, whether it's your first or you're chasing a PB. Short, sharp interval and tempo sessions matter more here than overall 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 few days, keeping a short, sharp race-pace effort or two to stay sharp. Arrive at Moana Surf Club 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.
5K 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.
