There will be a designated area at the finish village for you to all leave your bags for a change of clothes in, to keep you warm after the race.
SHUTTLE BUSES
PARTICIPANTS MUST CHECK IN AT THE VILLAGE AND GET THEIR TIMING CHIPS AND/OR BIBS BEFORE GOING TO THEIR START LINE.
To streamline transport, shuttle buses will depart from Montefiore Road, just outside the Convention Centre and a short 500m walk from the village, to drop runners at their start lines in time for each race.
Transport is included in the ticket price for the 100 Miler and 34km distances. For all other distances, seats are $10 and must be pre-booked through the shop in the EventPlus registration system.

Alternative transport to the start lines is permitted for runners who experience motion sickness or those who live near a start point and prefer to check in on Friday night. If you choose to make your own way, you must be dropped off, as vehicles cannot be left parked at the start locations.
Because these venues cannot accommodate heavy traffic, we ask that you avoid using crew vehicles for start-line drop-offs to help keep the event sustainable and fair for the surrounding communities.
