Bib Colours

Your bib colours are important! Some of our directional signage will correspond to your bib colour (which is different for each distance). If you see an arrow with your bib colour on it - follow it! If in doubt, we have plenty of marshals on the course to help you.

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 M2S HQ.

 

The amount of prizes per grade will be determined by the number of entries to the grade( if there are less than 3 per category then no prize will be awarded).

 

There will be one overall walker prize for the Half Marathon, 10km and 5km, there are no age categories for walkers.

 

Spot Prizes are only awarded if you are present. They will not be sent on.

 

Every finisher will receive a medal as they cross the finish line.

Start/Finish Line

At the start/finish line there will be a food cart, water, bananas and R-Line electrolyte (for runners/walkers)

Every runner/walker receives a medal.

In 2024, our medal has been designed by a year 8 student at Kaikoura High School.
