Running pace
These runs do not have official leaders and cater for runners of varying experience and ability.
You should look to run with people who have a similar pace to you – you can organise this by chatting on the FaceBook event pages:
Routes: We strongly recommend that you download the route GPX files.
Some runners who are looking for extra distance will run out and back.
Gear: Runners must be self-sufficient. You should carry a snake bite bandage, basic first aid supplies and sunscreen.
Food and drink: These runs are not supported – you must carry all of your own food and water.
Extreme weather or high risk weather: We will cancel these runs on catastrophic fire or extreme weather days.
Coffee afterwards: Yes please! All runs have cafes close to the finish areas.
Transport: Please carpool to get back to your car after you complete your run, or to the start area before 7.00 am. This can be organised by chatting on the FaceBook event page.
