Logistics and Facilities
Race registration and number pick-up occur on the morning of the event at the start area. The event format features flexible start times, allowing runners to begin when they are ready within a specified morning window. An aid station is located at the start and finish of each lap, providing a selection of sweet and savoury items. This is a cup-less event, so participants are required to bring their own containers for drinks.
