We've made it easy for you to gather the entire gang, irrespective of varying fitness and age levels, and head out of the city for an action-packed family outing. The Short, Mid and Long courses are available as walks too, so one event you may get to stretch out in the long or marathon while your partner takes a wee whipper snapper or two around the mid or short course.
