Start your track at a parking spot as close as possible to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs (going down). At the bottom, take a hard right and begin the walk. Walk at your own pace for about 900m, until you see a Jazz Bar in front of you, just swerve right and keep walking. You’ll see a huge park to your right (BBQs, Playground), just head towards the Story Bridge. Keep following this route for a further 2km until you get to the marina and the end of the road (literally a wall with a map telling you where yuh are). Do a U turn and walk back the same way. When you reach the stairs, after about 5.11km, challenge is to run up them to the top. A steep 33m incline. Good luck.
