It’s best if you arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the event. That way you can use any services you require, find your start wave and have time to soak up the atmosphere of the start line.

Your wave is chosen based on the time you expect to take to complete the course. We encourage you to select a finish time so you are surrounded by people of a similar pace. You must start in your assigned wave. If you start in a group ahead of yours, your timing device will not activate. Event Officials will instruct you to move to your appropriate wave.

More accurate wave times will be provided to you closer to the event.

Simply ensure you arrive 30 minutes prior to your start time and head straight to your start wave location. This will give you time to use any services you require, find your designated start wave, and enjoy the atmosphere at the start line. You will not need to check-in at the start line if you have already registered and collected your bib.

Of course! We encourage you to come along and cheer on our amazing walkers, runners and rollers on-route and also at the finish line. The finish line will be transformed into a family-friendly precinct, so join us on the day to enjoy activities, entertainment and more. You can also help out on the day by volunteering.

Of course! Our family-friendly Finish Line Carnival is open to all. Please ensure that your family/friends take note of our road closures, no parking restrictions, etc.

There is loads of entertainment on course, so leave the headphones at home and soak up the atmosphere! There will be lots of important information from course marshals and police that you’ll need to be able to hear for your own safety and that of fellow participants. Also, even though the roads are closed there will be emergency service vehicles on course, so you’ll need to be aware of what’s going on around you.

We encourage people to get crazy and creative and come in just about anything. Or you can wear your favourite running gear. Make sure your walking/running shoes fit well (and you’ve worn them before to make sure they are comfy). And bring a hat and sunscreen to slip, slop, slap.
