The Route

Start at the entrance of Smith Cove, South Sound, then go up South Church street and turn onto Denham Thompson Way. The race route then proceeds right onto Walkers Road, going up along past the Chapel Church, then turning right at the end of the road on to South Church Street and back down and around to Smith Cove.

Since the first Breeze Fusion in 2007, part-proceeds have gone to the National Council for Voluntary Organizations (NCVO), an independent, non-profit, charitable organization which engages in projects to meet the ever-growing needs of the community. A second beneficiary is also chosen each year. This year it will be Clifton Hunter High School’s ‘Adopt-a-Child’ program.
