Waste

The Banks Peninsula and Crater Rim Trails are some of the most beautiful places on earth and we want them to stay this way. Competitors must carry a reusable cup for drinks, available as part of our merchandise. Please dispose of any waste in the rubbish bags provided at aid stations throughout the race and at the start and finish area. Should any runner be caught littering on any trail areas they will be disqualified. Likewise should a support crew member be caught littering – they will be reported and their runner will also be disqualified.
The Summit Road Society, the Mt Vernon Park Trust  and the Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust maintain significant sections of the trails our runners enjoy. As a token of appreciation to these important custodians $5 of your entry fee will be donated to support them.

Volunteers and Marshals are the lifeblood of the event on the day. One of the items that makes our event stand out is the enthusiasm, support and encouragement they support to all competitors.

If you're interested in helping as a volunteer or marshal for this event please sign up from the Contact Us page.
