Participating |
|
|---|---|
| Race Number | A valid race number - issued in your name - with timing tag attached, must be worn on the front of your shirt whenever taking part in any of our events. Find out more about the race number & timing tag here. |
| Toilets | A large number of dedicated event portaloos will be located near the Start Line and we *may* also have access to the toilets within the Navy Sports Building. There are no toilets available on course. |
| Aid Stations | An aid station is located at Ngataringa Park (near to Lake Rd) - approximately the half way point of the 5k lap - and another station is adjacent to the start line for 10k and 15k competitors starting their next lap. All aid stations will serve water at the first table and PURE sport drink at the second table. |
| Directions | Look out for our directional arrows at all turns and intersections. These will either be a white arrow on a blue circle or - for more detailed instructions - a yellow sandwich board setup on the road. Marshals are also present at all changes of direction. |
| Marshals | Event marshals will be assigned to each change of direction and intersection. They are there for your safety and to keep you on course. |
| Emergencies | If you see a competitor in distress, stay with them and send a message to the next marshal. If it is a life-threatening emergency, ask someone to call 111. |
When You Finish |
|
|---|---|
| Finisher Medal | All officially registered participants in the event will receive a beautiful commemorative finisher medal when they cross the line. Running Events are renowned for the quality of our finisher medals and you can expect a weighty and beautiful keepsake which prominently identifies the event and year and recognises you as a FINISHER! |
| Refuelling Station | When you finish, you'll be handed a banana and a can of SUPA sport drink prior to exiting the finish chute. Once outside the chute, a dedicated water tent will be nearby for you to continue rehydrating. |
| Results | Results will be updated in real-time throughout the race. Scan the QR code on the front of your race number to be taken directly to your dedicated result page to see how you did. Alternatively, a link to this year's race results will appear here. |
| Awards & Spot Prizes |
The Awards Ceremony will kick off at 10am sharp and should last no more than 20 minutes. We hope you can stick around to celebrate some of the great achievements of the day. A list of awards to be presented for each race appears on the race info pages. Each participant also has a chance to share in up to $4,000 of spot prizes which will be randomly drawn during the ceremony. To be eligible for the Spot Prize draw, you must be present in person and you must walk your race number over the special spot prize registration mats near the stage when they are activated. Listen for announcements on the PA 10-15 minutes prior to the Awards Ceremony for instructions. |
