There is an option to bail out at Gordon Falls at about 20 km, and transport support is available to assist with returns to parked cars.

Blue Mountains Fitness runs the event in collaboration with The Body Mechanic and aligns the session with STREEK.RUNUTA base training plans and event specific UTA race plans. The organisers hold an NPWS ECO PASS licence and insurance to operate within the National Park.
