2026 Race 9 – The Fawcett Family Windermere 15km – Information, Race Brief and Maps

 

Race Details

 

The Windermere 15.1km course is a clockwise loop along the rolling hills around the beautiful Windermere area, starting at finishing on the Tamar River at the Windermere Boat Ramp. The race follows Windermere Road north all the way until a right-hand turn onto Los Angelos Road. A few bends are then rounded in order to stay on Los Angelos Road all the way until the T-intersection with John Lees Drive. The race turns right and stays on John Lees Drive only for a short time before turning right again onto Windermere Road and continuing all the way back to the boat ramp.

IMPORTANT – Stay on the RIGHT side of the road at all times, running on the side of the road, directed toward the oncoming cars. This means that runners can see cars coming, and also it eliminates the issue of cars not being able to pass runners on the route.

 

Juniors and Short Course will both complete an out and back route starting in the same direction as the long course heading North on Windermere Road. Juniors will turn around at 750m and the Short Course turns around at 1.25km.

 

Please arrive 30 MINUTES prior to the race start time to attend a marshal briefing, receive a high-visibility vest and make your way to your location. 

Marshals will likely need to drive to their location – so please arrive early in anticipation of this!

 

Don’t forget, all volunteers will go into the weekly draw to WIN one of two pairs of Steigen socks on offer, thanks to Intersport Launceston. Volunteer using the link at the top.
