Prepare properly and before event day, think where you can stash your wrappers whilst competing.

If you have hydrated/fuelled properly on the morning and in the days leading up to the event, do you really need that much to eat during this event!?

Unfortunately, we currently haven’t got the capacity to send out individual trophies after the event so if you can’t stick around for the Presentation, perhaps ask someone else you may know to collect your prize.

PRESENTATION:

Prizes will be awarded to fastest 3 Males & Females overall for each distance.
