Five kilometres out along Ocean Drive and back — the first half of the 10 km route — finishing on the same line as the marathon.
This is the one you enter with your family. It goes out at 9:30, by which time the half-marathoners are coming home, so you finish into a proper crowd rather than an empty field. There is no time pressure and no minimum age — under-12s just need an adult with them. No prams and no dogs, in this race or any of them: it is a certified course with people chasing times on it, and that is a safety call for everyone on the road.
Plenty of people in the marathon field ran The Drive first. Nobody will say a word about how long it takes you.
