Course Information

The course will be revealed shortly before the race commences at race briefing. Once the course is disclosed teams must map their own route to include all checkpoints and transitions to complete the course. Throughout the course team members must remain within 100 metres of each other at all times unless directed otherwise by race officials.

Course designs will involve a centralised transition location where you can leave all your gear. Consequently support crews are not required for 6 hour events unless specified otherwise.

Courses may include options to enable faster teams a more challenging course and slower teams may be given shorter course options.
