Everyone else can collect their bib on:
- Saturday 11 August from HockingStuart, 11 Playne Street, Frankston, between 11am and 4pm, or
- Sunday 12 August (race day) from the registration tent at Devilbend Natural Features Reserve from 7am.
Your timing chip is attached to your race bib, must be worn throughout the event and clearly visible on your front.
DO NOT fold your bib as you may damage the chip. Replacement bibs cost $5.
Results
Electronic timing equipment is used to ensure accurate results can be made available online within 24 hours of the event. We do everything possible to get everyone's time correct, however if you spot something wrong please send an email to info@devilbend.com so we can fix it.
Cut-off times
You may walk, crawl or run your event, so long as you are off the roads by noon.
On-the-day entries
On the day entries will be available if we have capacity. This event has sold out in 2016 and 2017 with people being turned away on the day, so early registration is encouraged to avoid disappointment.
Drinks on course
Water and electrolyte drinks will be provided approximately every 2.5km. Fruit will be provided at the finish.
Bag drop
Yes there will be a bag drop area.
Prams
Running with prams is permitted though not recommended. The course is predominately dirt roads and gravel paths where the occasional pot hole is inevitable. Personally I would not put my child at risk. If you chose to compete with a pram you do so entirely at your own risk. You must start at the rear of the field.
Bikes
Bikes are not permitted, no exceptions.
Dogs
Dogs are not permitted in Devilbend Natural Features reserve. A ranger will be on duty and will issue fines if necessary. Please leave your four-legged friends at home.
Toilets
Toliets are available in the reserve and a couple will also be on course. Our event permit is at risk if just one person does the wrong thing in the wrong place!
Rubbish
There are a few bins in the reserve, however please help where you can by taking your rubbish home.
Food and drink
Coffee and light snacks will be available to purchase. There are also a few picnic tables and BBQ's in the reserve if you'd like to BYO and make a day of it.
Parking
The beauty of this event is its rural setting. Unfortunately parking on rural dirt roads is limited. Please download and read the participants booklet for all details re parking.
