It is relatively safe, with almost always slightly on-shore winds and warm water all year round. Logistics is easy, there is an active community ready to run shuffles and it's a great holiday destination.There are lots of options for start (to) finish between 10km and 55 km runs. Probably the pick is Palm Cove to Oak Beach//" |
