Race Packs 

Your race number will be assigned to you at registration. To collect your number you need to make your way down to the collection desks on Sunday Morning. It will take around 15 minutes to collect your number. The earlier you get there, the more efficient we will be on the day.  If you have your own pins then that would be great but we will have supplies if needed.
Your timing chip will be attached to the bottom of your race bib. Please remove the strip and attach it to your shoe shiny side up as per the instructions on the back of the chip. Please make sure you keep your number on at all times during the race. At the finish, you can dispose of your chip (we do not need to collect them back).

The entry list can be found HERE.

NO CHIP MEANS NO TIME.

When you receive your race packs, please take a couple of minutes to fill out the brief runner Information form which can be found printed on the back of your bib. This will help us greatly in case of an emergency!

Race Start

Within the event village you will see the directional signage guiding to the start line. When arriving please familiarise yourself with the  start area.

Please listen closely to MC and marshal instructions on the day as we will be lining runners up in pace order based on expected finish times.
