The Esplanade, Portarlington
New course but very familiar with the removal of the notorious "cheese grater" corner. Same start finish but opposite direction to past years. The route is slightly longer at 1.3 km and takes in Harding St with a tight turn into the finish area. This should prove the toughest of the four circuits.
