SAFETY
FIRST:

Please be a cooperative group and help the safety and future of the event by keeping roadway clear at check points. Keep those roadside doors closed and congregate off the road surface.
Rules
of the road apply and must be obeyed. All of the course is open to general traffic.

must display hazard blinkers and show a caution sign if possible. Runners are
required to wear light coloured clothing so as to be visible to traffic.
Support crews are not to travel alongside runners, they must drive ahead and wait for their runners at the
2km changeover points. Do not leave vehicle doors open towards road or congregate roadside of vehicles at changeover points. 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.
Travelling from South Bruny to the start continue past North Bruny junction towards ferry and turn right into Missionary Road.
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 by the changeover markers. (This is an important race
requirement for safety reasons).
