Race details and logistics
Courses use a mix of forest roads, single track and management trails. All distances have course cut-offs at checkpoints. Aid stations and water points supply water, Coca‑Cola and lollies; many aid stations and the finish line also stock items such as ginger beer, Trail Brew, chips, bananas and watermelon. The event is cupless: runners must bring a reusable cup or soft flask.
Mandatory gear varies by distance but includes items such as a charged mobile phone (Emergency Plus app recommended), hydration capacity of 1 litre for longer distances, emergency food, space blanket and a whistle. For the 100 km event a live GPS tracker is provided. Hi‑vis vests are required on specified road sections and at night.
Logistics include a Finish Line Drop Bag service, optional return bus for the 30 km, 21 km and 8 km (cost listed as $20), on‑site camping at the community hall ($10 per person per night, limited to 100 people) and parking managed by marshals. Support crew and spectators are not permitted in the first 50 km of the course inside Bindarri National Park, with limited exceptions at specific aid stations. Minimum ages apply by distance.
