Road Race Course 12- 13 January 2013 Course Description Uniquely set within the city streets of Christchurch The road course for the Championships is uniquely set within the city streets of Christchurch, based at Pioneer Stadium (Lyttelton Street) in the south western suburb of Hoon Hay. The circuit covers 15.6km and incorporates the climb of the Cashmere Hills. The first lap and the final lap, however, will miss out the climb and cover a shortened lap of 12.7km. Elite Men / U23 Men will cover a total of 12 laps giving a race distance of 183.7km, whereas the Elite Women will cover a total of 8 laps for a race distance of 120.5km Start for all road races is on Rose Street. There is a 450m run down to the first right turn onto Cashmere View Road then gently falls away down to the Heathcote River before turning left onto Ashgrove Terrace at 750m The course now winds along the Heathcote River for 800m providing an ideal viewing point on the river banks. The course turns right at 1.55km onto Barrington Street toward Cashmere Road Roundabout. On lap 1 and on the final lap, the course turns right onto Cashmere Road past Princess Margaret Hospital towards the Cashmere Downs. From lap 2 onwards the course turns left onto Cashmere Road. At a little over 2.0km turn right at the Dyers Pass Road roundabout and head straight into the climb of Dyers Pass which kicks in almost immediately to 10–12% as we progress the 1.5km climb. At the top of the climb (3.5km) the course turns right onto Hackthorne Road for a fast 1.5km descent. Gradients range from -4% to -7% with technically challenging turns. At the bottom of Hackthorne Road prepare for a tight left turn onto Cashmere Road (5.1km). Following again the Heathcote River the course passes Princess Margaret Hospital towards the Cashmere Downs. A long straight run along Cashmere Road leads to a left turn, remaining on Cashmere Road at 7.4km and becomes more rural in setting. After a short climb at 9.5km, turn right at 10.4km onto Sutherlands Road. Sutherlands Road is the site for the feed zone for all races. At (11.7km) turn right onto Sparks Road heading back towards the city negotiating the Hendersons Road roundabout, keeping straight ahead on Sparks Road. Approaching the Hoon Hay roundabout you will see the 1km to go board before turning right onto Hoon Hay Road (15km). A short 500m run down Hoon Hay Road before the final left turn onto Rose Street, leaves us just 220m for the run in to the Finish Line.
