Mount Ainslie

How to get there   (Yellow Pages Map 50 C7)
The start is at the end of Phillip Avenue Dickson. Turn off theFederal Highway into Phillip Avenue and then follow the avenue right till the end of the road. There is a round-about approximately half way along the avenue, but just keep going straight through to the end. By this time you will be able to observe to your right-hand side a car parking area. Many others familiar with the Downer, Dickson, Ainslie, Hackett area will no doubt approach Phillip Avenue from a different direction, perhaps from Antill Street or Majura Avenue.

 Course Description - by Jim O'Donnell
The best word to describe the course would be "undulating". Both the long and short courses run around the base of Mt Ainslie, passing behind the suburb of Ainslie and War Memorial. The Frylink/Waddell Series short course turns at the 2.25km mark and return the same way to the start area. The Thomas Series long course runners continue to "undulate" along past the shooting range and after crossing the Mount Ainslie Road proceed along behind the Campbell Offices. There is a sharp left-hand turn taking the path up to the pass between Mount Ainslie and Mount Majura before continuing down to the finish area.
