Water Stations
There will be water stations on all courses except the 5km run/walk. If you want your own water mix available please make sure you make this known to organizers prior to race day. Drink containers must be clearly labelled with your name and the aid station to be left at.
Suggested Kit
As you are running across the peninsula the weather can be a mix of extremes at this time of year – from intense heat to freezing southerly. We recommend you consider carrying the following: Layered clothing, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, hydration pack, survival blanket, energy bar. Please do not wear headphones as this limits your ability to hear directions from marshals and hazards.
Prize Giving
The Prize giving ceremony will be held at the finish area at South Bay Racecourse. The amount of prizes per grade will be determined by the number of entries to the grade (if 3 entries or less there will be no prize).
