Two laps of the waterfront
A fast loop run twice, starting and finishing on Ritchie Boulevard. You will pass the Event Village, the crowd and the finish arch on your way through lap one, which is either motivating or cruel depending on how the day is going.
Waterfront the whole way
Almost entirely along the water, with one climb to get over on each lap. Scenic, and quick once you are past it.
Two laps
One loop, run twice. Easy to pace, and you know exactly what is coming the second time around.
Start and finish together
Both on Ritchie Boulevard, right by the Event Village, so your people can watch you start and be there when you finish.

Run with a pacer
Experienced pacers will be running the following times. Find the one you want at the start line and let them do the thinking, which is the single easiest way to get a good first half marathon out of yourself.
21.1km, and the whole town watching
The half marathon starts first, so you will be out on course while the waterfront fills up behind you. By the time you come through for your second lap there are thousands of people in red, and most of them will cheer for anyone.
