Race services and rules
Each competitor receives a timing device integrated in their race bib; official times record when an athlete crosses timing mats. Bibs are posted in bulk before the event or can be collected at the event. Water and sports drink stations are provided on course about every 2.5 km and at the finish. Public and portable toilets are located at the event site and along the course. St John First Aid crews are stationed at the finish and patrol the course.
Participants must wear a visible race bib, discard litter only at aid stations, and not use dogs, bikes, prams, scooters or rollerblades on the course. The kids race is not timed and uses two wave starts by age to ease congestion. Failure to complete the full course or all turnaround points may result in a DNF.
