5:45pm 2.5km Wild Earth ‘Wolf Pack Prowl’

All competitors shall complete their run before any other events are done. If numbers necessitate, wave starts will be implemented in 2-3 minute intervals. Parents are permitted to run with their child without registering (but they will not be timed or receive race inclusions).

6.20pm 12km BROOKS ‘Haunted Hills HUSTLE’

A new time for our longest race! It will be all but dark when you start and well and truly so by mid-run; so it is MANDATORY to wear or carry a torch to participate in this run. There is an 8.00pm cut off for this event - if you do not feel that you are capable at moving at a sufficient speed- noting the terrain and the dark, please choose a shorter event.

6:45pm 6km RUN RESILIENCE ‘Zombie Shuffle’

The sun will have set and the shadows will have grown long when you venture into the forest, SO YOU WILL NEED LIGHTING to get around. Please carry or wear a torch should you feel it necessary. Cut off is 8.00pm.

As always; organisers reserve the right to change the times as required to ensure the optimal athlete experience - please check the Athlete Information Guide sent out in the event week for any changes.

There shall be a manned aid station on course approx mid-way on each loop during daylight hours (10am –6pm, 6am-midday)

This aid station will remain in place during the night, but runners are to be self-sufficient. Supplies at the aid station will stay in place but shall be self-serve only.

The event is a ‘cupless’ and as such, runners shall carry their own drinking vessel, whether that be a collapsible cup, drink bottle, soft flask, hydration vest and bladder, etc

In the race precinct for pre and post run needs; water and sports drink (provided by FIXX Nutrition) will be made available.

Athletes are required to provide their own nutrition.

In the event that the Event course is, in the opinion of the event organisers, unsafe (e.g. heavy rain, high winds, bushfires, "acts of god" etc), or at the direction of the Redland City Council, the Qld Department of Health or in accordance with any Queensland Government directives, or any other relevant authority, organisers may be required to postpone or cancel the event.

Every attempt will be made to reschedule. Should a participant be unable to make the rescheduled date or no suitable date be available (due to venue unavailability, clashes with other events, land owner changes, etc); then all participants shall automatically be re-allocated to the Virtual option. Finisher medals, casual tee and camping kits will be mailed/delivered to competitors and/or their clubs.

Each team must keep their timing chip on the move; exchanging the timing chip after each 14km loop is completed, with all runners to run in order throughout, until all runners have completed a marathon or the ultra*!

The course is set up so you will complete the run as such
Runner 1: Green Loop
Runner 2: Blue Loop
Runner 3: Red Loop
Runner 4: Green Loop
Runner 1: Blue Loop
Runner 2: Red Loop
etc. until all runners have completed all three loops and thus completing a marathon each.
*Ultra runners; you will repeat the above order twice in succession.

One or more of your legs may fall during the night but your job as a team is to have unbroken movement until you’re all done!
