WILD EARTH CRUNCH WAVE STARTS & COURSE CUTOFFS

​

The CRUNCH will have just the one start time in 2026. Your route begins with a road section followed by a long descent on fire road so we are not concerned about room to move!
Race Start - 6.10am 

​

Prizes will be awarded to the first three males and three females over the line. Category placings will be decided by finishing times (time recorded between passing the start and finishing mats). There is a prize for age category winners and these will be sent electronically.

​

Cut offs are in place to ensure no congestion or impeding of the early finishers in the Wild Earth Coastal High 50 event. If you are ahead of the cut-off and speedy 50k runners begin approaching and passing you, we ask that you stick to the hard left - and give them a cheer as they pass!

​
