The Pacific Toyota 10km Run starts on Wharf Street, Port Douglas, in front of the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina. The course will take runners along Wharf Street before making a right turn into Macrossan Street, the home of some of the best restaurants, cafes and retail shops in Port Douglas. You will then run down to the Esplanade running alongside the beautiful Four Mile Beach. The course will take you through a few back streets before turning left onto Port Douglas Road. The main road into Port Douglas will be divided into three lanes to allow locals to access Port Douglas still and provide our runners with a safe route as they head from town.

After passing the sensational Sheraton Resort on your left, you will continue on Port Douglas Road before turning left into Barrier Street. You will follow this around, turn left into Four Mile Beach Park, and go down to the sand.

Once you reach the sand, a left turn will take you down the final 3.6km’s to the finish line. With every year providing different tide times, you may find yourself on huge wide open hard-packed sands, or you may need to search for the harder path if the tides are higher. But there should always be a hard packed path to follow as you progress towards the finish line.

The Nerd Belt Pacers will also be out on course to help you to achieve your time goal. They will be clearly visible with balloons and Nerd Belts. The Nerd Belt Pacers will set the following paces:

    • 40mins
    • 50mins
    • 1hr
    • 1hr 10mins
You will then cross one of the most unique finish lines in the world on Four Mile Beach! Then, it’s time to collect your medal and celebrate your amazing achievement.

To ensure you have plenty of fluids and fuel along the way we will have Aid Stations along the course with Winners Electrolyte, water and Winners Gels.
