The course will be marked with pink tape, signage and arrows. One water station will be available on course but supplies are limited; competitors are advised to carry sufficient water. Toilets are not available at the start/finish; the nearest public toilets are at the top of Eungella Range (Cricket Ground) and Broken River Day Use Area. Parking is along the road; competitors are asked to park as far left as possible.
