Race History

The Outram course was originally put together by the Presbyterian club back in late 70’s, and was used as a club estimated race. If you new how fast you could race and got closest to that time you would win.

Ariki Harriers like the sound of this and asked if they could join in the next year. The following year the course was open up to the public.

Over the next few year the 10km run and walk were installed. The course stayed at time estimated up until the 90’s.

From time to time the Athletics Otago Half marathon championships were and are often held on the Outram course.

The Children’s race was introduced in 2006, and is growing every year. In 2007 the Course was redirected so that the 10km and half finished using the same return route.

Aid Stations

There are 5 hydration stations on the half marathon course, each offering water and Mango flavoured SOS product.

First Aid

First aid will be provided by the St Kilda Surf Life Saving Club.
