Spectators

Trail running is not trail running without the support crews and spectators that bring the events to life! We encourage spectating and supporting all around each of our courses, but we do have a few notes for you to ensure you're across for race day. If you're a spectator or support crew, have a read below to make sure you're clued up come race day.

ON COURSE VIEWING

We ask that Spectators looking to watch their Runners on course at any time during the race respect road rules and do so in a safe manner. Spectators may cheer on runners but not assist them in any way. See Support Crew section for where assistance is able to be provided.

FINISH CHUTE

Your family and friends will be able to join you as soon as you enter the finish line precinct and can accompany you through the finish chute. Family and friends won't be able to join you in the recovery zone. You will be able to meet them for your post-race celebrations after your runner has exited recovery.

SUPPORT CREW ASSISTANCE

Support crew refers to those assisting runners by providing nutrition and hydration support, and with dressing blisters or massage etc.

Runners may only receive support crew assistance at the designated aid stations. See the individual race pages for more info on which aid stations you may receive crew support.

SUPPORTER RULES

The runner is responsible for the actions of their support crew. Support crews must comply with all instructions from event staff, road marshals and officials. The runner may be penalised or disqualified for actions or breaches of the rules by their support crew.
Support crews must obey all road rules and drive within the speed limits. Please ensure that support crew get sufficient rest and are not tired when driving.
Support crews must not eat the runner food provided at aid stations (runners only).
Outside assistance is only permitted at the designated aid stations. Runners must not receive outside assistance at any other points on course. Assistance from event staff is fine.
Support crews and spectators are not permitted to run with runners or as pace runners, other than those designated pacers as per the pacer rules.
Support crews are not allowed to enter the event course to collect runners.
The event organisers are not responsible for the safety or whereabouts of support crew.
