In order for our events to run as smoothly as possible we ask all athletes to cooperate and stick to our rules and regulations:

• No rego, No run! – Please respect our event, we have permissions from landowners, local and state authorities and have insurances to cover our athletes. Please do not jeopardise our licences and insurances by running without a registration.
• Race bib – Please make sure you retain your race bib for the entire series. Race bib must be worn on the front of your body, this ensures correct detection of your timing chip by the electronic timing system. The timing chip can not be worn on your wrist or carried in your back pack, this might cause the timing chip to not be picked up by the antenna at the finish line. No shortcuts – please stick to the marked track, for safety and fairness reasons. All courses are clearly marked and we have marshals out on the course.
• Fitness level – you don’t have to be the fittest to do this challenge. If you can run 10km in 80-90mins you will be able to achieve 6km in the hour.
• Stick to the left side of the trails at all times.
• Treat other competitors, officials, volunteers and spectators with respect and courtesy
• Dress Code – please wear appropriate clothing and suitable running shoes

• Do not leave any rubbish behind, this is a Private Lease Area. What you bring in you must take out.
• Keep left and give way to runners passing from behind.
• Don’t approach any wildlife you may come across on the trails.

• We reserve the right to modify the course without notice, as well as reschedule or cancel the event in consultation with emergency services, government agencies, and event stakeholders.
• If the event must be rescheduled, all entries will automatically carry over to the new date. In the rare event that the event is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled, registered participants will receive a credit for a future event, valid for 12 months. Please note that refunds will not be available in this situation.
