Please read the following announcements which contain important updates and changes for the race weekend.

These may be in addition to the published runner’s guide as we approach race weekend.

We may also communicate important updates via our channels but all important updates for runners will be listed here. We recommend you check back here for any notifications you may have missed, before attending the event.

Weather Dependent Mandatory Gear Update

50km WATERPROOF JACKET: not required for 50km (remains mandatory for 100km)

100km WATERPROOF PANTS: not required
100km FLEECE: not mandatory BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, especially after dark.

While the forecast doesn’t meet the <5 degrees bar to make the fleece mandatory, it is expected to get close, and course marking during the day has felt very icy, so you’ll be fully aware that it’s winter once the sun goes in.

If anything goes wrong out there, you’ll want every extra layer you have; and if it’s going right, keeping your body temperature up is going to do wonders in getting you to the finish line. Please plan your day with the expectation that you’ll want a fleece after dark at the very least, and leave it in the best drop bag to make this work for you.

All other mandatory gear remains mandatory at all times. We will do a random check and penalties will be applied for non-compliant gear.
