2026 Race 5 – 145 Financial Hillwood 10km – Information, Race Brief and Maps

 

 

The Hillwood race starts and finishes at the Hillwood Oval, and the 10km Long Course covers a clockwise loop around the Hillwood area before completing one clockwise loop around the outside of the football oval. The Short Course completes 5x clockwise laps outside the oval, and the Junior Course completes 3x laps of the same.

 

Upon exiting the football oval grounds, runners turn right onto Hillwood Jetty Road before turning right at the T-intersection and heading North-East along Craigburn Road. Just before the 1km mark the race turns right onto Hillwood Road and continues South-East past the Hillwood Berry Farm before turning right again onto Leam Road just after 4km. The race then follows Leam Road South-West, continuing after a sharp right-hand bend to go alongside the River Tamar until it joins back onto Hillwood Jetty Road. Runners then follow Hillwood Jetty Road north back toward the Hillwood Football Oval grounds on the right. Once in the grounds again, the race finishes with an exciting single lap around the outside of the oval.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to not run across the finish mat until after completing that final lap!

 

 

Keep an eye on the emails/social media for more information and maps showing where the marshal points are. Marshals need to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start time of the race you are marshalling for to attend a marshal briefing, receive a high-visibility vest, and make your way to your location.
