SAFETY

WARNING: Expect this to be tough – this event is only for those who can race and complete a hard core challenge. There will be minimal support during large sections of the event. You will be expected to be self sufficient and carry your own, water and nutrition for long sections of the course!

During the event you must be aware the rescue by the organisers or emergency services may not be possible immediately. In the first instance you are responsible for yourself. Organisers have assets in place to assist, but they may not be immediately available.

It is not practically possible to provide all the safety needed for all the possible scenarios. If you are not willing to accept this self responsibility, you should not start the race.

If you get to a point in the course that you decide you are not comfortable and confident in completing safely, it is your responsibility to do something. If you feel the level of inherent risk is unacceptable, do something about it. Avoid it, withdraw, it is your decision.

Safety Assets Include:

  • Event officials at transition areas with first aid certificates and training.

  • Event first Aid vehicle including qualified first aid officials

  • ‘Sag wagon’ support vehicle following riders

  • Normal access to emergency services via ‘000’.

No roads will be closed for the event. You must use extreme caution any time you are on a road. You must obey road rules at all times.
