If anyone requires medical attention on the day, our fully trained and equipped medics will be there to assist at the check points. Should you need to contact them along the course, please use the number provided on your map.

Unfortunately, this course isn’t suitable for wheelchairs, prams and strollers due to the number of stairs and uneven surfaces along the walk.

Unfortunately, not. The walk goes through a National Park where furry friends aren’t permitted.

Every effort will be made for the walk to go ahead safely whether it be rain, hail or shine. Should there be any unforeseen changes to the event we will communicate with participants via email and SMS.

Collect your bib from your start line.

Please arrive to your designated start line a least 30 minutes before your start time to collect your bib on site. There will be a Check-In area at each start line to collect your bib. Bibs must be worn and visible for the duration of the event.

Your bib will be numbered, colour coded for your start time and GPS chipped. Please write your emergency contact details on the back of your bib. No bib no walk.

On average you should allow 6-8 hours to complete the 30km walk and 4-5 hours to complete the 15km walk.
