There will be two aid stations along the course. You’ll pass them twice per lap, at approximately 2.5km and 5km, and again at 7.5km and 10.5km for those completing multiple laps.
Aid stations will provide water and electrolyte drinks. Please drink responsibly and dispose of cups in the bins provided past each station.

From 6:00am, enjoy a delicious breakfast with bacon and egg rolls, soups with a bun, sausage rolls and pies, and muffins.
From 11:00am, a range of warm and hearty lunch options will be available - the perfect winter feed after your run.
Coffee vans will also be on site, ready to fuel our runners and spectators throughout the morning.
You can enjoy your favourite Wandin wines, local beer, soft drinks or coffee all day after 11am.
