Question 2

Team Entries

Accepted Answer

ign up as a team of up to 4 runners, where you will run in relay style, splitting the time spent running between you, but building the distance together. Only one person in your team can be running on the course at any time.Your results will be included on a separate team leaderboard.

Question 3

How it Works

Accepted Answer

There is one starting line where everyone will begin from, this same line then becomes the looping line that provides lap times each time you go around.

When you're ready to finish, you cross the same line and let one of our team know that you're finished. The results will show the number of laps completed, total distance and time elapsed.

You can choose between time limits of 6, 12 or 24 hours and during that time, your challenge is to run as many 400m loops as you can. Any laps not finished by the cut-off time are not included in your results.

24 hour: 9:00am - 9:00am
12 Hour: 9.00am - 9.00pm
6 Hour Morning: 9.00am - 3.00pm
6 Hour Afternoon: 3.00pm - 9.00pm

While we do not consider our events to be competitive, we do have a results leaderboard and course records.

Aid Station & Facilities

We have full use of the facilities which includes an indoor building where there will be a bag drop, toilets, changing facilities, showers and an aid station with food and water. There is also a small kitchen which can be utilised by participants when possible and appropriate, which includes access to hot water, a microwave and two small electric hobs.

24 hour runners are welcome to pitch a tent on the grass internal to the track, tents are not provided by or available from us.
 
The start/finish line will act as the singular aid station and spectator area. This is where spectators can gather and participant's crew can set up individual aid stations if preferred.

Our aid station will provide water, fruit, sweet & savoury snacks and energy bars and electrolytes from our event sponsor VOOM.

With sustainability in mind, we are operating on a bring your own bottle basis. We will have plenty of water for you to fill up your bottles, but we will not be providing cups at the aid station.
