The specific schedule for race 3 is VERY DIFFERENT as it involves handicap starts with all runners starting at a different time with the goal that we ALL FINISH AT THE SAME TIME!

After your race, we recommend:

  • If you opted to purchase a Finisher medal, you can collect it after your race.
  • Hang out in the Social Central zone with your new and old trail running buddies!
  • Buying a coffee and a bite of food from the vendors to enjoy the race atmosphere
  • Grab a free 0% alcohol beer from our sponsor Australian Sport Beer
  • Listen to the live music
  • Stick around to support other runners as they cross the finish line and share their smiles
