Local start time

Duration / cutoff

104 hours (3:00 PM Sunday, April 4). Runners must leave the sleep stations by set times: Walpole by 7:00 PM Thursday (36 h), Peaceful Bay by 4:00 PM Friday (57 h), Denmark by 5:00 PM Saturday (82 h) and Cosy Corner by 8:00 AM Sunday (97 h). The Irwin Inlet jet ski crossing closes at 5:00 PM Friday (58 h).

Crew and pacers

Crews can meet runners at 16 of the 21 aid stations as well as the start and finish, and the organizer says every crew point can be reached in a two-wheel-drive car, though some roads are bumpy and wet. Phone coverage is patchy, so crews are told to navigate with the offline driving-route GPX file. Crews may enter the resupply area only when their runner is there and may not use aid-station food, drink or medical supplies. In the 200-mile race a pacer may join at the Walpole sleep station (141.7 km). One pacer at a time is allowed, changing only at crew stations. Pacers carry the full mandatory kit (except maps and tracker batteries), bring their own food and water, may not carry the runner’s gear, and must be 18 or older except from Shazza’s aid station to the finish.

Drop bags

Allowed in the 200-mile race. Label each bag with your bib number, name and the aid station it should go to, keep it small, and avoid plastic zip-lock bags, which birds tear open. Crews collect bags at the aid stations; otherwise they can be picked up at the finish until 3:00 PM Sunday. The organizer has not published a station list or bag limit for 2027 outside its race manual.
