Race details and logistics
Registration can be for a single race or for the whole series; a discounted third race fee applies when signing up for the full series. Long-course registration and bib collection times are listed per event day. Shorter-course registration and bib collection is available after the long-course start. On-the-day entries are available at least 20 minutes before a race.
The 24 km course has a 3.5 hour cut-off at AS2 (Warrimoo Trail / Timbarra Rd) at 18.7 km; runners who do not reach this point will be returned to the start/finish area. The 30 km course has a 4.5 hour cut-off at AS2 (Warrimoo Trail / Timbarra Rd) at 24.7 km; runners missing that cut-off may cross the finish and be recorded for the 24 km result. If a participant continues after missing a cut-off, they must hand over their race bib and notify staff and do so at their own risk.
A recovery station at the finish provides fruit, Tailwind Nutrition and water. Bacon and egg sandwiches will be available from a BBQ. Presentation of prizes is scheduled for around 9:30 am at the event; winners must be present to receive prizes.
