Feed stations are provided on both bike and run routes with hydration, fruit and snacks. Every finisher receives a medal and event hoody or a T-shirt for swim-only entries; hot catered food is supplied after non-swim-only races and live chip timing is used. There is a strict 16 hour cut-off for the full distance. Camping is available on site for a fee and parking at the park requires payment on arrival.
