• Look after each other. Smile. High Five and Woohooo! Share the trail love

• Keep to the left of the trail to allow faster runners to overtake

• Wear your bib at all times on the outermost garment

• YOU MUST tell an official or volunteer marshal if you are pulling out of the event due to injury or feeling unwell so we can notify the timing guys.

• Smile. You’re doing this for fun, remember this….always.

• Be nice to yourself. You’re a legend for just getting out there.

• No whinging if it’s cold and wet. It’s spring, and from what everyone says, ideal running conditions 😉

WE CALL THESE DROP DOWNS, BECAUSE YOU STILL RUN BACK TO THE FINISH

We’ve got a drop down route at 23.2km where from 10:07am (gives you 3 hours 52 mins) you will be redirected to the drop down route. Runners who are redirected will complete the drop down route and run ~32km total. Please notify the Timing team when you arrive at the Event Village.

On all other courses, you can choose to drop down in distance. You must notify the Timing team at the finish.

Half Marathon runners, we expect you to travel no more than 12min/km pace. As long as you plan on running, and keep it moving, you’ll be good. 

For the Ultra Marathon, we expect that you have a prepared for anything attitude and a high level of self sufficiency. Runners are encouraged to help fellow competitors on course. Outside assistance and pacers are not permitted for this event. There will be plenty of water stations on course – located at 16km, 30km, 48km. You are allowed to have friends/family cheer you on at designated spots.

Drop Bag Guidelines – Ultra runners Only

If you would like access to a drop bag (approx 30km into your course), please bring one clearly labelled bag with you to Check In. These bags will be transported to the Water Station, ready for you to access. After all runners have been through this access point your drop bag will be transported back to the Event Village, ready for you to collect post race.

NO.

The events take place in National Parks, where dogs aren’t allowed and due to the uneven surfaces, the pram is best left at the Event Village with a caretaker.

OF COURSE.

Please use the portaloo toilets provided at the Event Villages or try the facilities on the main street (located near the Post Office). 

On course, well… if it is NUMBER ONE – find a discreet place to duck off trail. PLEASE make sure you leave your backpack, or a water bottle or an item of clothing at the side of the trail indicating where you have left the trail. This is for safety. Should you disappear into the bush to do your thing and not return, we’ll at least have an indicator for where the Sweep should start to look for you. 

If a NUMBER TWO – well, in an absolute emergency, please try to hold until you get to an Aid Station where you will find advice (on where to go, we assume you know how) and loo paper. If carry your own loo paper. Then, again find a discreet place well off the trail and adhere to “Leave No Trace Principles” 

• Toilet at least 200m away from any water source & least 50m from any trail, hut or campsite.

• Matter should be buried approximately 20cm (6 – 8″) in the ground.

OF COURSE!

Hit the trails as much as possible, and do it with friends….it’s more fun. If you’re keen for a specific training program, get in touch
