The 5.5km event will start at the main beach of the Blue Lake and take competitors once around the Blue Lake. It starts by following Tarawera Road for 2.5 km to the far side of the Blue Lake where competitors will enter the forest at the lookout point parking lot. Competitors head into the forest for 1km then turn right to follow back along the backside of the Blue Lake for 2km and to the finish line. The first few kilometers are slightly up hill, but very gradually then down hill and flat to the finish line.
