Anderson Street Hill Dash Competition

Anyone that has ever run the Tan Track before will know of the dreaded Anderson Street Hill! Located along Anderson Street, a third of the way along the course at Race 1, the hill gives you an added challenge to push through in your run.

This year, all participants in Race 1 will be timed how long it takes to get to the top of Anderson Street Hill. The fastest male in the 8km and the 4km will take home a pair of Brooks Vapor Running Shoes and the fastest female in both distances will get a $100 moving comfort voucher!

Participants must complete the race to win the hill dash.
