You are not required to submit a demonstration of any previous experience with trail and/or ultramarathon running in order to enter The Guzzler Ultra 10km, 21km, 50km & 100km races, however it is expected that all entrants into the 100km event will have completed at least one hilly, trail ultramarathon of 50km or longer before event day.

The Guzzler Ultra races are very tough and it is expected that you will have trained on terrain that is similar to that which you will experience during the event you are participating in to prepare for your race. You must ensure that, on race day, you are sufficiently fit and healthy to complete the Event within the official cut-off times.

Runners must be 18 years of age on event day to compete in the full Guzzler 100km and the Glass Half Full 50km. 

Runners from 16 years of age can enter the Big Sipper 21km and runners from 12 years of age can enter the Dry Run 10km.

All runners under 14 years of age must be directly supervised for the duration of the run by a parent or guardian who is entered into the same event.

To ensure we all have good, clean, (dirty), fun, a list of Event Rules is available here.

Other policies such as the Conditions of Entry, Participant Waiver and Code of Conduct can be found on our Important Documents page here.

Join The Guzzler Ultra’s training group on Facebook to get tips from seasoned Guzzlers and find new friends to train with. 

Plus, keep an eye on your email inbox as well as our Facebook and Instagram pages. We’ll keep in contact in the lead up to the event with important information to help your weekend run smoothly as well as some fun stuff to keep you motivated for the big day.

Please check your Spam, Junk Email or Promotions folders regularly to ensure you are not missing vital event communications. We normally send event emails from our mailing list account, as we’ve lots of people to email. If you’ve unsubscribed from our list you won’t receive any emailed information. You can sign up again using the form at the bottom of this page. 

A full list of Mandatory Gear can be viewed here.

Event host, The Trail Co., is able to offer to assist with all items on this list.

You do not need to do a Mandatory Gear check prior to the event however you are required to carry all of your mandatory gear for the duration of your run. We will be conducting random gear checks and anyone found to be missing items will be required to replace them before continuing.

Failure to carry a complete set of mandatory gear may not only endanger your own safety but also breaks the race rules. Let’s keep it fair for all and have a great day out together. 

If you are unsure if any of your items meet the minimum standards, event host, The Trail Co., is able to offer advice and suggestions.

The Guzzler really is an event that will test you. All events cover single tracks & fire roads, some flat trails (not much) and some steep accents / descents. We strongly recommend wearing trail running shoes to protect your feet and to provide ample grip on the steep sections. 

Head to The Trail Co. if you would like help with shoe choice. 

Medals will be handed to you as you cross the line. If you’d like to get your hands on one of the bottles or cups available to finishers of the 21km, 50km or 100km events, these will be available for purchase from The Trail Co. tent at the event for $15.

If you’ve registered by the 2nd Feb 2025, you will opt in for your preferred size. When the tees arrive, we’ll contact you with options if you want to collect it early, or they’ll be available at the event precinct on Guzzler weekend.

Once shirts have been ordered by us, sizes are limited so any size swaps will be subject to availability.

TRANSFERRED RUNNERS

If you entered using a transfer from another runner who has a shirt in their name, you might be able to claim their tee instead. This is a negotiation between the two of you. As above, we’ll do our best to accommodate any size swaps but it will be subject to availability.

While working through registration, you’ll need to provide personal details and answer a few questions such as:

• Personal details: eg name, DOB, address etc
• Nickname: as you’d like it to appear on your bib
• Country of representation
• Race day contact details: the phone we’ll be able to call you on during the event. 
• Emergency contact details: must be someone who is not registered for an event on the same day
• Medical history: providing details about current or recent illnesses, hospital stays and other important information that may help medical professionals provide care to you in an emergency.
• Agree to the Release Waiver and Conditions of Entry: these can be read here

You will be able to log back into your EventPlus profile and update some of these details if they change between the time of entry and the Event.

If you have entered another event that uses the EventPlus registration platform, you will already have an athlete profile associated with your email address, making registration even easier!

Yes, you can enter other runners while logged into your Eventplus profile. If you enter a separate email address for them, we’ll endeavor to use that as often as possible but please be aware that you may receive some emails on their behalf. 

Head HERE for all the details.

You sure can! Add Bib Shipping to your Eventplus order before the cut off date and it will be shipped directly from the bib printer.

Please take care when adding bib shipping that you enter the correct mailing address (this is different to the address you can see attached to your profile). If you have multiple runners under the same account, you will need to add shipping to all runners who need it, and make sure its assigned to each runner. 

If in doubt, you can contact Eventplus Help and they can check who you’ve assigned the shipping to and/or which address you typed. 

Bibs can only be shipped to addresses in Australia. If your bib is shipped out and doesn’t reach you in time, we’ll be able to find a spare for you. There’s a chance it may have another runner’s name on it, but you’ll be able to race.

If you opted for Bib Shipping by the cut-off date, it will be sent directly from the printer. 

Most shipped bibs arrive during bib collection week, so please don’t worry if you haven’t received it earlier.

If it doesn’t reach you in time, we’ll be able to find a spare for you. There’s a chance it may have another runner’s name on it, but you’ll be able to race.

Please wait until your Auspost has arrived on the Thurs before the event, and only if it hasn’t arrived by then, send us a contact form via the website letting us know.

In the unfortunate event that you need to withdraw from The Guzzler, you may be able to transfer your ticket to another runner or request a partial refund. Check out the full policy here.

Please head to the event schedule page for this years open and closed dates. 

Please note, pervious years events have sold out well prior to the scheduled ticket close date, some events have sold out the same day as tickets have opened for sale, so if you would like to enter please get in quickly to avoid disappointment.

No. All tickets for The Guzzler Ultra must be purchased prior to event day. Please check the Event Schedule for full details. 

There are two ways to find this out. You can check your email for a receipt (unless your SPAM filter got hold of us) or you can log back in to the event registration portal by clicking any of the MANAGE ENTRY or ENTER NOW buttons on this website to see which event you’ve signed up for.

If somebody else registered for you, and you can’t find your email, ask them to log in to their profile and check.

Hint: to log in you’ll need to remember which email address you used to register.

If you’ve moved house or you want to update any of your other details, you can do that by logging back into the entry portal. Hit “ENTER NOW” or “MANAGE ENTRY” anywhere on the website to log back in.

Once in the entry portal head to “Your Registration > Personal Details” to edit your personal info (eg new house), or “Registrations > Event Details” to edit your entry information (bib name, emergency contact etc). 

We don’t have any power to edit your personal details as you might have used these to enter someone else’s (not so cool) race. If you have any trouble editing these, please hit Help and the Eventplus team can give you a hand.

There are a few reasons that you might not have received our registration and/or communication emails. These are:

1. Your friend registered you and only used their email address. Ask them to forward the emails.
2. We’re hiding in your Spam or Promotions folder.
3. You’ve unsubscribed from our list. Check you are subscribed here.

Bonus: You have a Hotmail address. We’ve noticed that an increased number of Hotmail users are reporting not receiving emails which we send from a range of different places (Eventplus, the mailing list and directly replying to transfers/enquiries etc). It’s not all Hotmail users so there may be a setting you can change. Otherwise, if you’re able to use a different account, that could help.
