Why consider it
Consider the one-, two- or four-loop format if you want an alternative to a standard 5K or 10K, starting near Etihad Arena.
The trade-off
Allow for a pre-dawn arrival and the 5% booking fee. Bib collection, parking and cutoff remain unconfirmed; the longest category also has conflicting minimum ages.
