required to wear light coloured clothing so as to be visible to traffic.
Support crews are not to travel alongside runners, a safe distance of 50m is
recommended. It is preferred that support crews wait for their runners at the
2km changeover points. Avoid leaving vehicle doors open towards road and please
do not stand or congregate roadside of vehicles at changeover points. Support
crews of younger runners are requested to follow their competitors adhering to
a 50m safe distance. Support crews and competitors must follow instructions of
race referees who will be on course to ensure safety first guidelines are
followed. MP3 or other musical playing devices are not permitted to be worn
whilst running as they compromise safety of competitors and other road users.

DIRECTIONS
TO THE START:
From
the Ferry Terminal please turn left on to Missionary Road towards Barnes Bay
and not the Bruny Island main road. This will reduce traffic congestion for the
runners who are using the main road creating safer running conditions for all
competitors. This will only add 5 minutes to your travelling time. Signs will
direct vehicles to the start using this alternative route.
RELAY
TEAM GUIDE LINES:
Social
or serious relay teams are welcome to participate. Each relay leg is
approximately 2 kilometres with a roadside marker indicating changeovers.
Runners may run in any order, one running per team leg. Runners may run back to
back legs if the team chooses or multiples of 2km legs. When a changeover takes
place, it must take place on the right hand side of the road, and at designated
areas indicated with the changeover markers. (This is an important race
requirement for safety reasons).
