Runners will then make their way back along Harbour Road towards the finish line at Giacopazzi's Gelato.
Please note: The route may be subject to change should the Red Bridge be reinstated ahead of the 2027 event. Any changes will be confirmed in advance, with updated route information shared through our official Facebook page and event communications.

Runners will then make their way back along Harbour Road to the finish line outside Giacopazzi's Gelato.

The route may be amended should the Red Bridge be reinstated ahead of the event.
If the bridge becomes part of the course, runners will be required to cross towards the Middle Pier. This is a working harbour area, and participants must exercise particular caution, especially as the bridge may be required for emergency lifeboat access.

Runners will then make their way back along Harbour Road to the finish line outside Giacopazzi's Gelato.
Important Route Update for 2027
The route may be amended should the Red Bridge be reinstated ahead of the event.
If the bridge becomes part of the course, runners will be required to cross towards the Middle Pier. This is a working harbour area, and participants must exercise particular caution, especially as the bridge may be required for emergency lifeboat access.
Any route changes will be subject to the necessary safety assessments and approvals, with updated course information shared ahead of the event.
