How accurate are the course distances?
We have measured all sections of the course with a measuring wheel back. This was after two of us completed the course together but got 800m difference according to our Garmin watches. So while your watch may give a slightly different distance, we are confident of the course length. The 4km, 7km and 21.1km course are the correct distance, while the 12km is actually 12.4km

How do the results work?
Electronic timing equipment is used to ensure accurate results. Results are available online almost immediately you cross the finish line. We do everything possible to get everyone's time correct, however if you spot something wrong please send an email to [email protected] so we can fix it.
Are there cut-off times?
You must be off Hodgins road by noon. This affects the Half Marathon (16km in) and 12km runs.
In the Half Marathon, to reach Hodgins road by the cut-off time mean you would need to maintain an average pace of 11:20/km - or 56:40 for each 5km.
Are there on-the-day entries?
On the day entries will be available if we have capacity. We have a combined total of 800 entries due to limited parking. All entries must be via our online registration portal. No cash or credit card entries will be taken.
What about drinks on course?
Water and electrolyte drinks will be provided on course. The drinks will not be handed to runners so the runners must pick up their own drinks from the table.
Is there a bag drop?
Yes there will be a bag drop area.
Can I take a prams?
The event is a trail run and some parts of the course are not suitable for prams.
Can I take my bike?
Bikes are not permitted, no exceptions.
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are not permitted in Devilbend Natural Features reserve. A ranger will be on duty and will issue fines if necessary. Please leave your four-legged friends at home.
Are there toilets?
Toilets are available in the reserve and a one will also be on course. Our event permit is at risk if just one person does the wrong thing in the wrong place!
What to do about rubbish?
We will have some bins in the reserve, however please help where you can by taking your rubbish home.
Are food and drink available?
Coffee and light snacks will be available to purchase. There are also a few picnic tables and BBQ's in the reserve if you'd like to BYO and make a day of it.
Where do I park?
The beauty of this event is its rural setting, and as such parking on rural dirt roads is limited. Hence our restriction to 800 total entries. Please click here for parking details.
Does it get wet or muddy?
Yes, it can! (and we love it that way!) Our courses are along firebreaks and access trails. The surface is a mixture of grass, gravel and depending on recent weather - some small sections of mud or puddles. The majority of the course will be dry, but please keep this in mind when selection your shoes. We urge all competitors to take care in sections - as long as you don't fall over, mud can't hurt you!
