Please read the following announcements which contain important updates and changes for the 2023 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.

Upon reviewing the weather forecast for event weekend, our Race Director’s decision is that additional mandatory gear requirements of waterproof pants and fleeces for 100km runners, and waterproof jackets for 50km runners are not required for race day.

Fleece recommended, 100km

Temperatures are expected to average around 9 °C overnight but could be colder in some of the more remote areas of the course and in creek valleys.

Runners who expect to be moving slowly through the night may wish to carry a fleece to stay warm. This may be collected from a drop bag at a checkpoint, eg. CP4 Lake Manchester, on course and does not need to be carried from the start.
