Cut off times
All events will have a cut-off time 2.5 hours from the start time. The Sweep of each course will apply the cut off times. The Sweep will move forward systematically notifying participants when the cut off time is applied. The Sweep will notify participants that course support will now cease and all course marshals will be relieved from their posts at 12:40 (or earlier in the event if all participants have passed them prior to this cut off) Participants will then have the option to continue at their own risk or to proceed to a pick up point with the Sweep and call for a lift. Participants in the forest may be picked up by an approved vehicle and returned to the start line should they choose this option. Participants in accessible areas will need to arrange their own personal pick up.
This means an average pace of 8:20min/km in the 18km trail run and 7:06min/km in the half marathon and 14:09min/km in the 10.6km event.
