WHEN DO ONLINE REGISTRATIONS CLOSE?
Online entries close at 10am on Thursday 5th December. After this time entries can only be taken in person at event base on the morning of the event, and will incur a late fee. If the event sells out prior (which is very likely), there will be no on the day entries available.
I HAVE ALREADY ENTERED BUT WANT TO CHANGE MY EVENT/DISTANCE OPTION
If you would like to change your event option it is advised to do so before event day, please email Registrations with your name, current distance and the distance you would like to change to. Otherwise it is possible to make changes at Registration on the day.
Please note; upgrading to a longer distance will incur additional charges.
I AM INJURED AND CANNOT DO THE EVENT, WHAT CAN I DO?
Get in touch with us at least 7 days before your event, we can create a credit of your entry fee (less a $20 admin fee) that can be used towards any Total Sport event in the next 12 months. If you can't make an event, email Registrations who will arrange this for you.
I PLAN ON WALKING MOST OF THE COURSE, AND JOGGING SOME BITS WHEN I FEEL GOOD - DO I ENTER AS A WALKER OR RUNNER?
You enter as a runner. The walking category is for people that are going to walk 100% of the course, and these people want to gauge themselves against other people that walk only.
CAN I WALK THE MARATHON EVENT?
No, the Marathon event is a Run Only event with cut off times that will be enforced on the day. Please view the Course Information page for cut offs times and locations. All other distances are available as a Walk option.
DO I NEED MANDATORY EQUIPMENT?
ALL participants (except our Trail Tigers) are required to have a head torch for some dark tunnel fun.
Marathon participants will be required to carry the following items at all times
Long sleeve top (polyprop or wool)
Beanie (polyprop or wool)
Survival blanket
Waterproof seam sealed jacket
Headtorch/Torch (for tunnels)..
While some of this gear may seem excessive, we ask you to bring it for your safety. You may not need it while you are running or walking but if something happens and you have to stop you will need it. The event is on very exposed, rugged country and it can be very cold if you have to stay in one spot.
WHERE AND WHEN IS THE PRIZE GIVING HAPPENING?
Prize giving will take place at the event base (Dickey Flat) at 1.30pm. Join us as we give out trophies to the over-all race winners, male and female, for each of the race options, and draw the spot prize winners - you must be present to win!
See Prize Giving section on Event Info page for more information.
IS THERE ANYWHERE TO LEAVE MY STUFF WHILE I'M RUNNING?
Yes! There will be a personal gear storage area at event base where we will tag your bag and keep it secure/dry for your return!
So feel free to bring some extra layers or a change of clothes so you are comfortable once you've finished.
CAN I BRING MY FUR BABY?
No sorry. Because of the environment we are in for this one + the single trail nature of much of the courses - no dogs at the event base or on course at this event we are sorry.
