Sunrise on the Gardiner
10K Flat. PR Fast.
The Gardiner Expressway doesn't have a hill on it. Ten kilometers of pure flat asphalt where every watt you generate propels you forward.
No elevation changes. No excuses. This is where PRs happen. This is where your training becomes a personal best.
Bring your A-game. The course will reward it.
This Only Happens Once a Year
