• If you do not give a qualifying time, you will start at the back.

• We will be seeding the half-marathon and the 10km run. There will be no seeding for the 5km fun run, or the 5km pet walk.

The results will be electronically produced on race day by the official chip timing system.

Your timing chip will be placed on your race number. The race number must be worn on the front of your vest and visible at the finish line. There is a foam strip on the back of the race number. Please do not remove the timing chip and foam strip from the race number – doing so will result in NO finishing time. For safety and timing purposes, ONLY the person assigned to this race number may use it. Only the Trail Run, 21.1km and 10km races will be timed. The fun run and pet walk will not be timed.

1. The race is run according to the rules of ASA & WPA.

6. One race number (bib) will be issued. Registered athletes must wear their ASA licences on the front and back of their vest. The race number must be worn on the front of the vest, partially covering the ASA licence, so that the ASA licence sponsor remains visible.

The race will be seeded, ensuring that runners experience a more efficient start to the race.

• You can submit a qualifying time during the entry process.
• You can enter your best time for a previous race under 'Athlete Details' on online entries, or on page 2 of the entry form.
• Seeding is based on a 21.1km race run within 12 months prior to the event.

• There will be clear signage for the seeding pens. Please give yourself enough time to park, walk to the start, and find your seeding pen.
• You will be required to show your race number to the official at the gate of the pen, so please pin your numbers to the front of your vest.
• Should you wish to run with slower friends you may enter their pen as long as it is lower than yours. For example, if you have been allocated a B seeding and your friend is in C, you may join them in their pen but they will not be allowed to start with you in B.
• Pens will close 10 minutes before the start of the race and the groups will compress. Latecomers will be directed to the back of the field.

The 21.1km, 10km and 17km Trail run will be timed by a disposable chip located on your race number. The chips are included as part of the race fee and will be issued to all race participants (apart from 5km runners) in their registration packs.

How does the chip work?

• A disposable timing chip will be placed on the front of your race number and covered by a foam strip.
• The foam strip prevents water from affecting the chip signal. Please do not remove the foam strip. If you do, you will not receive an official time.
• Please do not bend or fold your race number as this could affect the antennae and signal capability.
