ENTRY REQUIREMENTS / CUT OFFS

We ask you read the entry requirements before entering, this is to ensure our volunteers are not out on course for a long period of time.

15km - No experience necessary

25km - You have completed a trail half marathon or similar before and expect to be able to complete well within 6 hours.

50km - You are up for the challenge of completing a 50km and expect to be able to complete the 50km within 8 hours.

NAVIGATION

The course will be marked with pink signage and pink tape, however due to elements outside of our control we can never 100% guarantee that signage is present on race day,

Runners will be all given and required to carry the race map at registration.

Our best advice is to make sure you have the GPX files on your watch or phone

This is NOT a marshalled race. It is ultimately the runners responsibility to navigate the course successfully, with or without course markings.
