Details

You MUST present yourself & your dossard at St Augustin church for pre-race inscription .  

Please park carefully in the National Park. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you block the access road. It would be best to organise transport for yourself at the Parakeet Antenna, where the race finishes. THANK YOU for your comprehension.

If you do, you will endanger holding trails in the Park and RTN will take severe action against you!!

The race is identical for those runners in the Long Trail League and those in the Short Trail League. It is entirely YOUR choice whether you register for the Long or the Short race, but your points will accumulate in whichever league you choose.
