Due to changes to the course this year, Spa Road and Napier Road will be open. This means the best way to get around the closed area will be via the ETA and Centennial Drive / Spa Road or Napier Road. Note Broadlands Road and the ETA off-ramp at Broadlands Road will be closed until 1pm Saturday, while our Landfill and Transfer Station on Broadlands Road will open at the later time of 1.30pm Saturday.

Over the next few days please take extra care on the roads, keep an eye out for cyclists and runners and on the day of the event make sure you look out for signage and detours to help you get around safely. Thanks everybody!
