REDMAN RUNNERS BRISBANE |
TEXT DESCRIPTION OF LONG-RUN COURSE 14 Kms - Regatta, Uni, Green Bridge, Annerley Road.
Leave RedMan in a Westerly direction through South Bank Parklands with the river and the city to your right. At approximately 1.75kms you will pass underneath the Victoria Bridge. Veer left under the bridge and follow the wooden spiral ramp up and onto the Western footpath across the bridge. Cross the bridge and turn immediately left down the footpath leading under the motorway and back along the bikeway at river level. Turn right at the river and head West again. Hard to get lost for a while now as you just continue to follow the path all the way out to the Regatta Hotel which will be on your right at about 5.3kms. Nothing too dramatic happens here. You continue to follow the path but it does ease away from the river and you climb slightly up past the Toowong shops on your right. Stay with the left hand footpath and the main road as it becomes Brisbane St. Pass the Bus Stop shelter and down the slope. Coming up on your right is a Service Station and on your left Sir Fred Schonell Drive. Turn into Sir Fred Schonell Drive and follow it for about 1 km until you are inside the Uni grounds. At the second roundabout which forms a crossing with Sir William Macgregor Dr turn left. The athletics track and stand are to your right. A tap and toilets are to be found under the grandstand. After a drink, head off across the athletics track and veer left across the road and onto the gravel path along the river. A lovely run around the Uni grounds till you come to the Green Bridge spanning the river. Climb up onto the bridge and cross the river. Follow the road leading up the hill on your left until you come to a main road. This is Gladstone Rd. Turn left onto Gladstone Rd and look to cross to the right side when possible. You follow this up and down the rolling hills and then down the slope toward the city. After about 1.5kms on this road you cross Vulture St and into Ernest St. Follow this toward the river and onto Little Stanley St. Turn right and follow the Sth Bank Park. Make your way through the park past the Goodwill Bridge around the Maritime ship in the drydock and onto the path along the river. There's the Red Man! 14kms.. Well done!
