Register your child first, then add an accompanying adult bib during the registration options. Please note the accompanying adult will not be timed and will not receive a finisher’s medal.

There are no cut-off times for the 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km. There is a cut-off time of 3.5 hours for the Half Marathon event.

Race bibs are printed three weeks before race day and posted two weeks out. To have your name on your bib, make sure you register at least three weeks before the event. If you’d like your bib posted, the cut-off is two weeks before race day.

There will be a photographer present on the course taking photos of you, which will be posted on our socials following the race.

There WILL be other pedestrians and cyclists on the paths. We recommend you do not use earphones, and you need to pay close attention to everything around you. Please be aware of people, cyclists, and dogs.

Race times are subject to minor changes.

We are always on the lookout for volunteers on race day to help out with course marshalling and registration. It’s a great way to experience the buzz of race day without having to tie up the laces. In addition to being amongst the energy of the race, Race Hub Australia are delighted to offer volunteers the following as a thank you for their help on the day:

• Free entry to any future race (up to $60)
• Free morning coffee
• Post event breakfast with staff and volunteer
