I last did this in May 2010, and I hear rumours, whispers if you will, that the route has changed since then? Anybody know how the new route compares to the old one in terms of hill etc? Does it still go through Warwick Uni campus and Memorial Park etc, or has it been totally shifted?

Pace Oct 2012 2:56pm, 24 Oct 2012 787 posts	0 Pace I really liked the new course. Some fairly tough hills, but being a circuit course, what goes up a tough hill must come down a fast hill, so it probably balances out pretty well, and most of the ups are in the first half. It's one of the most rural big city half marathons I've ever seen! Marshalls and spectators were tremendous too. Special kudos to the most efficient return of baggage at the end ever. There was a woman on watch as I walked up to the tent shouting out numbers and a nice lady handed my bag to me as soon as I walked into the tent.
