ENTRY INFO

RACE DETAILS AND REQUIREMENTS

There is no pre-requisite of competing or finishing any trail running event to participate in any of the five race distances.

All participants of the 42km race should ideally be experienced in trail running, be sufficiently skilled and have trained to undertake a trail running event. The course is physically demanding and traverses remote sections of the property that can result in slower first aid / rescue response times. The course is made up of a combination of 4WD farm tracks, narrow single track, gravel roads and rocky sections that are rough under foot.

The 30km race is very similar to the 42km race, albeit slightly shorter. All participants of the 30km race should be experienced in trail running and have trained sufficiently to endure a course of this nature

There is no requirement for prior trail running experience for participants of the 15km or 10km races. Please note the 15km course includes significant climbs, which reaches the highest elevation of all the race distances. Both the 10km and 15km races are open to walkers, we ask out of consideration for others you begin at the back of the starting group.

It is a participants responsibility to ensure you are physically fit enough to complete the distance you have entered and monitor your health and condition during the event, including knowing when to withdraw from the event if you are no longer fit enough to continue.

TRANSFERS

Athletes can request to transfer their entry to a lesser or greater race distance up until such time as that race distance is sold out, subject to the following terms: 

• Transferring to a greater distance: Where an athlete requests to transfer to a greater distance and space is available, the athlete is required to pay the difference in entry fees between the two distances. 

• Transferring to a shorter distance: Where an athlete requests to transfer to a shorter distance and space is available, the difference in entry fees will not be refunded.

• Athletes can transfer their race entry to someone else up until 8:00pm on the 21st April 2026.

• We do not offer transfers to future events, athletes can formally transfer their entry to someone else within the same distance event already entered.

• Athletes can complete their own transfers via your Race Roster profile, please note a small transfer fee will apply.

As stated in the Athlete Waiver, under no circumstance are you permitted to give your bib to another person. The safety of our athletes is paramount, therefore we need to ensure we have correct details of all our athletes on course.

CANCELLATION

If the event has to be cancelled or postponed due to reasons beyond the control of the event organisers (including a Force Majeure event, COVID-19, any other pandemic or due to government imposed restrictions), no refunds will be offered and all entries will be automatically deferred to the 2027 event.
