WATER BOTTLES

Please use the drop bins on the 10K course to make our volunteers lives a little easier.  At The SPA there will be recycling bins – the water bottles are made from recycled plastic and can be either reused or recycled. Please empty the bottle of water and drop it in the recycling bin. Please don’t drop any litter – we just have to pick it up.

PARKING

There is no parking at The SPA for runners. There is plenty of parking available in the surrounding area.

RUBBISH

Please use the bins we have at the water stop, Race HQ and along the route to drop litter - many thanks.

10K COURSE and FINISH

The course is marked at each kilometer, with a water station located between the 4km and 5km marks. The cutoff time for the 10K race is 90 minutes to accommodate the Fun Runs starting afterward. If you anticipate finishing close to 90 minutes, please position yourself at the back of the first wave and be mindful of the Fun Runs starting at 11:30—move to the side as they pass.

The 10K will start in waves to minimize congestion. If you’re aiming for a top finish, join the first wave, as the top three male and female runners will be timed with a gun start. Everyone else will have chip timing, so there’s no need to worry.

First aid will be available at Race HQ and along the course.

If you require assistance, please signal to a marshal.

A chase vehicle will be on hand for anyone who may need help during the race.

We will also have pacers for various finishing times, depending on volunteer availability.

All the individuals you see assisting and marshaling are volunteers—this event wouldn’t be possible without their support.

Please follow any instructions given and take a moment to thank them along the way.

5K COURSE

The course is marked at every kilometer with signs specific to the 5K. There will be no water stops along the route, except at the finish line. The race will begin shortly after the 10K participants have started. There will be only one wave for the 5K, and both overall winners and category winners will be determined by gun time—first past the post wins.

PRIZE GIVING

For the 10K we will present the first 3 male and female awards on the SPA Balcony after the race. 

All other prize winners will receive their prizes by post.
