Do Not Delay! There are limited entries!
Not only are the entry fees slightly cheaper the earlier you enter, but if you delay you risk missing out. The longer distance events for the 2018 and 2019 events were a sellout. Record numbers were in the supporting distances too. Entries are closed when limits are reached.
32KM & 21KM BUS TRANSPORT SUMMARY
Your bus ticket ($30.00) needs to be purchased in addition to your event entry in order to get to the start line. Travel by bus from the top of Bruce Road is compulsory for all 32km and 21km entrants. There will be no passenger pick up’s made in Rangipo for the 2020 event.

In addition to this the following age restrictions will be in place.
32KM/21KM EVENTS
• In order to enter these events you must be 16 years or older on event day.

• In order to enter and run/walk the 6km event solo (without an entrant 16+ being required by the event to stay with you) you must be 11 years or older on event day.
• If you are under 13 years and wish to enter the 10km, or are under 11 years and wish to enter the 6km event, entry is allowed providing the following:
o The younger entrant is physically fit enough to be able to complete the distance within an off road terrain setting inside the event course cut-off times under his/her own steam (push chairs/buggies are not suitable or allowed on the event course). We also want to see younger entrants really enjoying the outdoors at this event – not being dragged around for the adult’s enjoyment.
o An entrant 16 years + remains with this younger entrant throughout the event and is responsible for them. While there are marshals and medical staff on the event course this event is set in an ever changing outdoor environment where good decisions will need to be made by all entrants on the event course.
