is along the back country roads of Hamilton, and the edge of the escarpment. You
will then head towards the Redhill Expressway where you will meet up with some of the
half marathoners. You will enjoy this down hill coast and the beautiful scenery off the
RedHill, it will be closed to traffic. Once you exit the Redhill you will then start your journey
