More Event Information
RACE REGISTRATION / RACE NUMBER COLLECTION
To help minimise our event waste, there will be no cups at any of the Aid Stations. We will provide some water and electrolyte hydration, but you should try to be as self sufficient as possible.
GROUP ENTRY DISCOUNTS
We offer significant savings for group entries. If you’re part of a club, school or business, own a gym or coach athletes we’d love to hear from you. Email us to find out more [email protected]
PRIZE GIVINGS
Prize givings will be held at the Finish Line/Event HQ and will be staggered throughout the afternoon. See your race details for times.
TEAMS
There is a Teams category in the 42 km, 55 km, and 100 km events only. Male, Female and Mixed teams.
A team entry is a great corporate team-building exercise with your work-mates, or just a heap of fun with a group of friends.
AT THE FINISH LINE / RACE HQ
There will be lots of action at the finish line with participants completing their various events throughout the day. We’ll have music, food and refreshments available as you mingle and mix with the crowd and enjoy your aprés-race afternoon.
GEAR BAG DROP
If you have some gear you'd like to discard and leave at your start line, then pick up again at the finish line, that's cool. We'll have a gear bag drop area at each start line, and we'll happily transport your stuff to the finish line/event HQ for you so you can wrap up warm again after your race. Be sure to clearly mark your gear bag so it doesn't get picked up by somebody else by mistake.
BUSES FOR THE LONG RUNS
There will be buses available to take competitors from Waihi Station (Race HQ) to the start lines in Te Aroha and Thames. You will arrive in time for a warm-up and the pre-race briefing. You can book your seat when you enter on-line. Go to the EVENT OPTIONS page for your race, to get bus details.
21 k RUN/WALK TRANSPORT SERVICE
We are able to offer a bus service from the finish in Waihi, back to the 21 km start line in Paeroa after your event. The bus will run from 11:30 am, and throughout the day. Book your seat at the time of entry by just checking the tick boxes. Bookings are essential.
PARKING
There is good parking near the finish line/Race HQ. Please follow the signs and the instructions of the parking marshals.
TOILETS
There are toilets at all start lines and at the finish / Event HQ.
WALKERS MUST WALK
If you've entered as a walker, you must not run! Even if you feel better than you expected and feel like jogging a bit you must still only walk. There are podium places at stake for race walkers and they do not like it when casual walkers run and take their podium positions!
DOGS
NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON THE COURSE. Dogs are OK on a leash around the event base at Waihi Station but if do you have Fido around this area, please make sure he/she doesn't stray onto the finishing straight, runners will be on a mission to get to the line.
