The run is flat and fast, 3 km out and back on tarmac.  The leg before the bike is completed once for short distance and twice for standard distance.  After the bike, the run is completed once more for both distances.

Each year they provide free care and support to thousands of patients and their families, helping them towards the best quality of life possible.
