We made it!! Can you believe it – we actually made it! We have made it to the start line of the 2020 Surf Coast Century! After all that we have all been through I can’t tell you how stoked we are that the 2020 event can go ahead, that your training and sacrifices can be rewarded with an event to remember. In many ways the year 2020 has been a bit like an ultra marathon - we’ve had to overcome challenge after challenge without giving up. We’ve had to support one another through the good times and the bad. Things haven’t always gone our way but we’ve not let that stop us either – we’ve kept our eye on the prize and never given up hope that we can still make it to the end, one step at a time. We congratulate you on your strength to get through. The best part of an ultra marathon is the finish (let’s be honest!), but the tougher the journey, the bigger the reward when you make it to the end... so for those of you who reach the Century’s finish line in 2020 – you deserve icecream for ever and the proudest smile from ear to ear because you’ve overcome it all and have truly achieved something great in 2020. Well done. Let’s make 2020 a year to remember for all the right reasons with a great event at Anglesea on 5-6 December. Rapid Ascent Event Manager: Sam Maffett 0400 001 786. Race Director: John Jacoby 0408 035 261

Welcome from The Mayor Welcome to the 2020 Surf Coast Century!

After many months of event cancellations, this is our first ‘live’ major event to return, so this year’s Surf Coast Century feels extra special. I know you’ve all been training extremely hard, so I’m so pleased that the event could happen. Congratulations must go to local company Rapid Ascent for all their work to make sure it is delivered in a COVID-safe way. We are delighted to welcome participants back to our region and look forward to seeing you back on our spectacular tracks and trails. The Surf Coast Century has long been a hallmark event for our region and our Council is pleased to again provide funding support. Events like this not only promote health and fitness, they connect people with nature, their passion and with others. They do wonders for our mental health. Events will play a critical role in our region’s COVID recovery, not just in an economic sense, but also in reconnecting us. If you’re looking for another adventure, go to www.surfcoastevents.com.au for everything that’s happening on the Surf Coast. I wish you all the best for the Surf Coast Century. Cr Libby Stapleton Mayor, Surf Coast Shire Council

THE NEW MINI COUNTRYMAN. AS COUNTRY AS YOU.

The new MINI Countryman is as country as you. It’s a fun, fast, urban do-it-all machine – a city version of an SUV, if you like. And it’s big – designed to do everything a city dweller needs and more. With a luxurious and roomy interior and the 450 litre do-everything sized boot, it’s a car that makes city living just better. And it’s a MINI, so it turns a trip to the shops into a smile inducing, adrenalin fuelled adventure. And true, the Countryman may not be completely at home in the country, but neither are you. Visit your local MINI Garage today.

ON COURSE NUTRITION AND CHECKPOINT TYPE To avoid common touch points and remain COVID-safe we require competitors to follow these procedures at checkpoints in 2020: • Runners cannot handle the provided race food but must be served the food they want by a designated volunteer. Race food will be served in small, single serve paper / plastc bags. • Runners cannot touch the water drums or taps. Runners must hold their water bottle / bladder while only a volunteer touches and operates the tap There are three types of checkpoint along the courses that serve the race food listed below.

Items available: • Tailwind Nutrition powder. You can mix your own to your preferred strength • Sandwiches – sweet and savory • Bananas • CLIF Bars • Fruit cake and/or honey and oat slice • Snakes and lollies • ‘Shapes’ dry biscuits and potato chips (CP3, CP5, CP7)

Unmanned water points: CP3A and CP4A

There will be drums of water and / or a tap with drinking water at these locations. There will be no marshals here and support crews cannot provide any assistance at these locations.

DROP BAGS The drop bag service is a great way to get your items to each checkpoint without a support person. Because solo support crews cannot go to CP2 they are the ONLY WAY for solo 100km runners to get your items to CP2. Drop bags will be transported from the event centre in Anglesea to the following Check Points and back: • To / from CP2 – 21km point at Torquay Surf Beach • To / from CP4 – 49km point at Anglesea Green (or drop them off on race morning yourself) • To / from CP6 – 77km (27km pt for 50km runners) at Moggs Creek Drop bag procedure for 100km and 50km solo runners: 1. Come to the bag drop area in the event expo and collect the appropriate bag tags for your gear: • Red (CP2) / Green (CP4) / Blue (CP6) 2. Write your name and race number on the bag tag(s) and ensure your bag is sealed so nothing can fall out 3. Put your labeled bags in the appropriate drop bag enclosure in the Event Centre on Friday before 8:00pm. (A small number of drop bags may be dropped off on Saturday morning but Friday night is distinctly preferred.) NOTE: • Bags will NOT be transferred between CP’s (ie, not from CP2 to CP6) nor to CP1, CP3, CP5 or CP7. • Bags must be closed, max 10kg, no bigger than 50cm x 50cm (We recommend those blue, supermarket cooler bags that zip shut. Plastic boxes will not be accepted). • Bags will be laid out in number order at each Check Point. • Bags will be transported BACK to the Event Centre during the course of the event. Drop bags procedure for 100km relay team runners: • The procedures outlined for solo runners above also relate to Team Runners, but drop bags will only be accepted between 9:00am and 12:00pm on Saturday (otherwise they will get mixed up with the solo runners’!

THE COURSE Course Markings It is up to the runner to KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR AND FOLLOW THE COURSE MARKINGS to follow the course. Courses will be marked with: • RED and/or ORANGE ARROWS (pegged into the ground and fixed to trees or bushes) • FLUORO PINK or RED PLASTIC surveyor’s tape and reflective tags (tied to trees or bushes) • RED and WHITE barrier tape across a track / road marking the wrong way. Do NOT cross red and white tape. • In the DARK: Sections of the course will also be marked with SILVER and / or RED reflective tape tied to trees, as well as (infrequent) reflective arrows. Course GPS file and FREE mapping app We strongly encourage all runners to set up your telephone (or GPS watch) with the free mapping app ‘Maps.ME’ and import the course GPS file (available on the website) so you can easily refer to it if you are concerned about where to go. This is free and easy to set up and does not require phone reception. There are clear instructions for how to set up your phone with the maps here: https://tinyurl.com/y7bgfh2v Page 8

COURSE DESCRIPTION Great Ocean Road Real Estate Leg 1: 0km – 21km

(100km runners only) Distance: 21km Elevation gain / loss: 105m Terrain style: Along a mixture of wide gravel path (Surf Coast Walk), hard sandy beach and inter tidal zone with some technical terrain over reefs and rocks. It starts with a couple of short hills but flat from the 8km pt. You WILL get wet feet and there may be some pools you have to negotiate that can be waist/chest deep. Leg start point: Race Start (Anglesea Main Beach) Leg finish point: CP2 at Torquay Surf Beach Rotary Rotunda Check Points: An intermediary race kitchen at CP1 (10.5km) Cut off: 100km solo runners on Saturday: 11:15am. 100km relay team runners on Sunday: 11:30pm 100km Start route: All 100km runners start Anglesea Main Beach facing west and complete a 4km loop going up past the Surf Life Saving Club, along Surf Coast Walk to Point Roadknight and back along the beach past the start. Course change for 2020: Leg 1 will not go on the beach below the ‘Demons Bluff’ line of cliffs located between the 4.2km - 8.6km points due to current instability and frequent collapses in this section of the cliffs. Instead, runners will leave the beach at the 4.2km mark and follow the Surf Coast Walk that parallels the cliff edge through to the Red Rocks headland and rejoin the ‘original’ course at the 8.6km point. We have made this change at the request of GORCC to protect everyones safety. High tide detour contingency: Depending on swell and beach conditions on race day runners may be detoured onto the cliff top tracks between “Steps/Boobs” stairs (17km pt) and the north side of Rocky Pt (20km pt). This detour may be activated during the event, so earlier runners may stay on the beach whilst later runners may take the detour, but both routes are the same length. Detours will be clearly marked and supervised by race officials.

MINI Countryman Leg 2: 21km – 48km (100km runners only)

Distance: 27km Elevation gain / loss: 520m / 520m Terrain style: A mixture of gravel footpaths and narrow single track through the bush. Whilst not exactly hilly, this section is best described as undulating. Leg start point: CP2 at Torquay Surf Beach Rotary Rotunda Leg finish point: CP4 at Anglesea Green Check Points: An intermediary race kitchen at CP3 (31km pt), and an unmanned water station CP3A (40km pt). Cut off: 100km solo runners on Saturday: 4:15pm. 100km relay team runners on Sunday: 3:30pm Note: runners must stop and wash the soles of your shoes at the 3 x PC Wash locations on Leg 2. This is a mandatory shoe hygiene procedure to assist in the control of ‘Die Back’ or Phytophthora. Please use the Parks Victoria provided wash station.

La Sportiva Leg 3:

48km – 75km (100km runners) / 0km – 27km (50km runners) Distance: 27km Elevation gain / loss: 760m / 720m Terrain style: A mixture of 2WD, 4WD and single tracks through more remote sections of the coastal bushland (with extensive wildflowers all around). This is the hilliest leg of the race and the crux of the course. Leg start point: CP4 at Anglesea Green Leg finish point: CP6 at Moggs Creek Picnic Ground, Boyd Ave, Moggs Creek Check Points: An unmanned water point CP4A (58km/8km pt) and intermediary race kitchen at CP5 (68km/19km pt) Cut off: 100km solo runners on Saturday: 10:30pm. 100km relay team runners on Sunday: 7:30pm Great Ocean Road (GOR) Bridge: all 100km runners must go under the GOR bridge at the 49km mark. 50km runners start on the inland side of the road so don’t need to cross it in 2020. 50km start: The 50km race start is at Coogoorah Park on River Reserve Rd, 1km inland from the Event Centre. You commence going along the single track behind the houses leading to Mt Inglesby

Page 13

CLIF Bar Leg 4:

75km – 99km (100km runners) / 27km – 51km (50km runners) Distance: 24km Elevation gain / loss: 426m / 466m Terrain style: Another mixture of 2WD, 4WD tracks and single track that returns you to the beach for a stint along the sand to the finish.

RACE MAP LIVE TRACKING We will be using GPS tracking software during the race that allows you to track runners along the course using YOUR MOBILE PHONE as the GPS tracker. Coverage along much of the course is very good (except mid leg 3) so this allows you to watch the race and see where your team mates are in real time. 1. Download the ‘RACE MAP’ app onto your phone 2. Enter the following code into the Search bar at the top of the home screen: • 50km and 100km solos: GUIHL1 • 100km relay teams: LAHG6J 3. Enter your name and/or race number in the login fields to register as a runner 4. Scroll down to the ‘Surf Coast Century’ in the list of events (Note: select Saturday or Sunday depending what event you are doing / watching) and click START LIVE TRACKING when you start running. That’s it! • Remember to click ‘Pause Live Tracking’ once you’ve finished your run! 5. Spectators: Click ‘Watch Now’ to see all runners if you are just a support crew • NOTE: Sometimes you may need to go back to the intro screen and click ‘Watch Now’ again to refresh the map to see more runners. Running the app does drain your phone battery more than normal so we encourage solo runners to only track the last ~6-8hrs of your run so it lasts until the finish OR carry a small powerpack with you. We strongly encourage everyone to register your phone and track yourselves whilst racing (and then turn off the tracking when stopped teams!).
