Moderate run at a semi-casual 'race taper week' pace with time for plenty of pictures and maybe exploration of a side trail or two.
This will be a group paced run and no one gets left behind.
Route will be run clockwise starting with going South along Bowman Bay, up and around Point 504, down to and around Lottie Point, over and around Lighthouse Head Loop, back up Bowman Bay, around Rosario Head and back to the trailhead.
Note: We will not be running across the bridge.
