Map produced in 2013 with the assistance of Randwick City Council.

NB. In 2013 Randwick City Council has made a slight change to the route to lessen any potential inconvenience for local residents.  The race route now proceeds straight across Broome Street from the top of Manwaring Avenue, turns left and moves down Broome Street to Fitzgerald Avenue. The extra distance required will be accommodated in the Bernie Kelly Drive, the Byrne reserve access road. Council sincerely apologises for the change and trusts that it has not inconvenienced any race entrants.  The route is now more direct.
