All entries will be assigned a number at registration.
To collect your number, make your way down to the collection desks on Saturday Morning.
It will take around 15 minutes to collect your number, so please arrive early.
You will only need one number attached to the front of your shirt.
Your timing chip will be attached to the bottom of your race bib and needs to be attached to your shoe as per the instructions on the back of the chip. Please make sure you keep your number on at all times during the race.
At the finish, you can dispose of your chip (we do not need to collect them back).
When you receive your race packs, please take a couple of minutes to fill out the brief runner Information form which can be found printed on the back of your bib. This will help us greatly in case of an emergency!

During the race
The course will be marked out by Trail Flags and tape.
For marking turns, there will be tape hanging on the gate/tree/rock located on the side of the trail towards which you will be turning.
This will be Red for the Ultra and Blue for the Half Marathon.
If you haven’t seen a flag, tape or sign for more than a few hundred metres, turn around and re-find the course.
There will be arrow signs at key locations only, and there will be no distance markers.
We will have marshals positioned at key points to help you find your way.
The exact distances of the routes are as follows:
Ultra Marathon- 53km with 1300m/ 4500ft elevation
Half Marathon- 23km with 600m/ 2000ft elevation
Please familiarise yourself with the route map.
You must have the GPS track downloaded to your Mobile phone and/or GPS device and you are familiarised with the route prior to setting off.
Having the GPX is a requirement for the Ultra, and highly recommend for the half marathon.
THE GPX FILES CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE COURSE LINKED BELOW

Refreshments

Please bring your own water and drinking vessel to the event.
