Web links to maps of the SMC Courses
The SMC is located at Rosford Street Reserve, Smithfield NSW, however the start line of the race is near the intersection of Gipps Road and Hassall Street.
This is approximately 400m from the Rosford Street Reserve.
The courses are almost entirely on road with some stretches of footpath.
The SMC runs are not particularly hilly but not entirely flat.
The steepest hill is found on Redfern Street which is only taken on by the long run runners and is generally the site of the infamous “HTFU” sign and more recently the cruel ‘cooling station’.
Despite the undulations the SMC courses are quite fast and many PBs have been run here.
Of course, they are all certified as accurate by Athletics Australia as well.
Below are some links to maps of each of our courses. See you out there!
5km race map – Mostly flat course and very fast with nice downhill last kilometre
10km race map – Out and back course with a couple of small rises
21.1km race map – Follows the 10k course but does a loop around Redfern St taking in the steepest hill, then follows the 10k course again to finish.
25km race map – Goes beyond the 10k turn around to add a couple of little pinches to the 21k course. (see 30k map link).
30km race map – Here you get two turns at the Redfern St hill and two turns of the add-on past the 10k turn around. The second loop of Redfern can be challenging.
