The Run Port Stephens will be held on 8 November. With a wide road start, runners will have enough time to spread out before the fast flat paths that follow the edge of the pristine coastline and a few sneaky little climbs to elevate the heart rate (but remember, what goes up, must come down) With amazing views of Nelson’s Bay, Shoal Bay and a litany of pristine beaches, who wouldn’t want to walk a little and take in these sights? This course is perfect for not only runners but for spectators and families who want to enjoy their time in the safe saltwater beach (right next to the finish line) and massive kids play area, while their loved ones push themselves to the limit. Meandering through tree-covered paths, past the coffee shops and town centre, it will be hard to find a more luring running track of this distance in NSW.
