Water is provided close to the start/finish for 10 km and 15 km runners. There are toilet facilities in the country parks and paid parking on site; availability and charges may vary. All finishers receive a custom medal, with a different design for each round and ribbon colours that denote distance. Trail shoes are recommended.
