Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely! Walkers are welcome. Please keep in mind the event cut-off time is 2pm (6 hours from start time). A 2.5km loop takes most walkers around 30 minutes, so there's still plenty of time to rack up some solid distance.
-
Register your team in person on the day. Each person buys their own $15 ticket to entry and just let us know your team at the start.
-
Feel free to reach out to us here if you have additional questions.
-
A bit of rain won't stop us. The gym will be open as your base camp for resting, sheltering and cheering on your teammates. We'll only call it off if conditions become genuinely dangerous (think thunderstorms or strong winds), and we'll give you as much notice as possible via the Facebook event page.
