How it Works

There is one starting line where everyone will begin from, this same line then becomes the looping line that provides loop split 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, we can then provide you with your results.

There is a time limit of either 6 or 12 hours depending on your chosen event, during that time you are welcome to run as few or as many laps of the track as you would like to.

12 Hour: 9.00am - 9.00pm

Facilities

Surrounding the start/finish line will be the event village. There will be a bag drop, toilets, changing facilities and some other stalls from our event partners for you to check out.

The start/finish line will also 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. When you are finished you are welcome to visit the aid station again for fruit and snacks.

If you would like to bring your own food and drink, you are welcome to leave your bag with us and access it any time you need to.

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.
