PRE ENTRY ONLY

Entries are PRE-ENTRY only, so please don't rock up on the day to enter. This is because every participant is required to complete a COVID-19 self-screening form 48hrs before (more on this below).  Entries are also limited and currently available.

​

BACK TO BATCH STARTS

COVID-19 compliant batches of 50 will apply, please supply us with your average 10Km time.  The start times are indicated on the event page closer to the date of the event.

​

COVID-19 SELF-SCREENING 

Every entrant will be emailed a COVID-19 self-screening form at 7 am on Thursday, 48hrs before the first start.  Every entrant is required by the current regulations to complete this prior to arrival. However, if you miss this, you will be able to complete the form at the event - this will just take longer!

​

TEMPERATURE CHECK, DISTANCING & MASKS

Your temperature will be checked before you enter the starting pen.  If your temperature is higher than 38ºC you will not be allowed to run.  Please maintain your social distancing skills during your time to the best of your ability.  You are not required to wear a mask while you are running, but it is required to be on when you arrive, during registration, and right up until you have started the run.

Survival Tips for Danger With Baboons

When you encounter baboons on a hiking trail, here are a few things to do as well as avoid:

• 1. Remain calm and stand up straight to display a strong and confident yet non-threatening behavior.

• 2. Do not walk through a troop of baboons; instead, wait for an opportunity to walk around them, or wait for them to leave before you proceed.

• 3. If they don’t appear threatened by your presence and if they won’t move from the trail, keep your distance and make a loud noise such as clapping your hands to encourage them to move on.

• 4. Do not smile or show your teeth; male baboons may view this action as a sign of aggression.

• 5. Baboons can mock charge you and sometimes back off when only inches away.

• 6. Get rid of any food that you may have in your hands by securing it in your backpack.

• 7. Be prepared to quickly unclip and leave your backpack if a baboon tries to go after any of your gear or food inside.

• 8. Never feed a baboon and never try to grab back food or anything else that it takes from you. Baboons can fight aggressively to defend the food that they’ve taken.

• 9. Avoid using pepper spray as baboons can interpret it as an attack and act aggressively to fight back.

• 10.If one presents itself aggressively by standing tall, showing its teeth, vocalizing a threat, or charging towards you, don’t make eye contact, and back away slowly without turning your back.
