Newlands Courses

All the yellow and orange course have a mix of sprint controls around the college and long legs through the neighbouring Council reserve.  Expect a bit of mud if it has been raining recently.  The Seton Nossiter valley reserve has some lovely areas of track with views, specimen trees and a stream, complete with gurgling waterfalls.

The long orange potentially has a couple of gnarly off-track route choices. The valley sides can be steep, with loose rock, and with pesky blackberry in places.  So, take care if you head cross country - and cover limbs. Both the long and short orange can be done with short and less steep excursions off-track.

The map doesn't lend itself to setting a red course as you are never too far from a track. But the orange courses provide lots of route choices and there are still some navigational challenges.

Long orange – 4.2 km (likely to be around a run of 5.5-6km ) climb 215m

Short orange – 2.9 km (a run of  around 4.2 km ) climb 115 m

Yellow  - 2.7 km, climb 105m

White – 1km- around the school and fields

Practicalities

You can get to the college on the number 1 bus.

For those in cars, we have access to the Newlands College carpark that is next to the fields.  That is where the start and finish will be. The entrance to the car park is off Bracken Road.

If you are arriving or leaving while runners are on the course, please drive slowly through the college. It is a one way loop.
