        Leave RedMan in a North Easterly direction underneath the Captain Cook Bridge. Run along the river paths underneath the         Kangaroo Point cliffs. Continue past the Thornton St Fairy stop all the way to Captain Bourke Prk. Turn right along Holman St         and then take the first right into Main St which will have you going Sth past the Story Bridge Hotel. At the Southern end of the         Story Bridge turn left and run up onto the left hand footpath across the bridge. At the Northern end turn hard left as soon as the         railing ends and look for the steps leading to the path which will take you under the bridge and up onto the path beside Bowen         Tce heading east. A small park and the river are now to your right. Take the first right hand turn into Moray St and follow it for         approx 600mts before turning right into Dodwell Ln then left into Maxwell St followed by first right into Merthyr Rd         immediately left into Griffith St first right into Sydney St. Run straight onto the path at the end of the road and veer left for a         lovely run along the river.                                              

         Immediately after the Merthyr Bowls club the path swings left. Follow it out onto Oxlade Drv where you turn right and run          along to New Farm Park. Taps and toilets are available to your right. (Toilet by Ferry Stop). Run down towards the river and          head Nth past and around in front of the Power House. Cross the small park and out onto Lamington St then first right into          Hollins Crescent. Follow it around and take the first chance on your right to get back to the river. The river is on your right all          the way till you are forced to turn left onto Merthyr Rd. First right onto Macquarie St around the construction and first path          to the right back onto the river. (This detour will disappear when the building finishes). A great stretch of path along the river till a          left turn onto Commercial Rd and first left onto Skyring Tce. Follow it around the bend and turn first right into Longland St.          200Mts along and you have completed 10kms. Tap available to your right in front of the shop complex. (This spot is know as          GU Stop).

        At the end of Longland turn left into Anne St. Simply follow Anne St back up through The Valley towards the City. Stay with         the left-hand footpath all the way up the hill. As you approach the Story Bridge the footpath ends but there is a small park to         your left that you will run into. Follow the concrete path through the park and it will lead you to a pedestrian tunnel under the         major road leading to the Story Bridge. Pass through the tunnel up 4 steps and you will be greeted by another 3 lane road and a         set of lights to cross at. On crossing the road veer right back to join Anne St. 50mts in front of you is a water fountain where you         rejoin Anne St. Turn to your left onto Anne St again and continue on toward the City. 300 Mts on you come to 3 roads crossing         each other. You are looking to follow Queen St down to your left. This will lead you onto the river. Follow the streets which         keep you closest to the river or you can veer left onto the "boardwalk" along the actual river. If you stay with the streets you will         be on Eagle St and then Edward St before coming to a roundabout in front of the Botanic Gardens. Into the gardens through         the large gates in front of you and you will find another tap 20mts inside on your left.

       Keep the river to your left and head along the Gardens Path. After about 1km in the Gardens you will come to the Goodwill        footbridge on your left. Keep running straight ahead on the path underneath the Riverside Expressway and now you have the        river just off your left shoulder. Keep it there for about a kilometre and a half until you pass underneath the Victoria Bridge. Now        you are looking for the first path on you right heading up the slope and then at a hairpin turn carrying you back up onto the        Victoria Bridge. Cross the bridge and look for the first exit to the right once you are across the river. The exit will bring you        down a spiral path back under the bridge and point you back toward South Bank and the Red Man. Stick with the river path all        the way along the front of South Bank and past the Goodwill Bridge on your left. Up the slope keep the Dry Dock to your        left and then back down the slope for the run in to the Red Man. Great effort 18kms!
