Mandatory Gear Check Options​

All  competitors need to have their mandatory gear checked before they can receive their race pack at race

check-in

There are two options for getting your gear checked:

 

Option 1:

 On-Line Gear Check. Not available after 7th April

​

Option 2:

 

Have your gear checked at race check-in immediately prior to collecting your race pack. This is the least preferable option as it can make your race check-in take much longer.

Check-ins:

Saturday: 4-6pm [27/35 Merrigal Road, Port Macquarie] must show gear

Sunday 5.30am up to 30 mins before your race start [at race hub] must show gear 

​

If you did not collect your bib on Saturday, you must do the following when you arrive on race morning:

 

  1. Merch Table: Pick up any gear you have purchased with entry. You will also be able to purchase mandatory gear and event shirts.Once you have picked up mandatory gear, make your way to mandatory gear check tables to get your gear checked. [visa / eftpos available / cash]

  2. Mandatory Gear Check table: At race check-in you will need to do a mandatory gear check [YES you must bring all your mandatory gear to be sighted to complete your gear check if you have not done and passed an on-line mandatory gear check]. Once you have done your mandatory gear check, you will be given a PASS ribbon, take it to the check-in table.

  3. Check-in: You then make your way to the check-in table to collect your bib. If you did not have a PASS ribbon , you will not get your bib until you receive one from the mandatory gear table.

​

You will then receive your race bag which will include the following:

​

1. Race Number [Bib Tag]: Your race number must always be visible on the outside of your clothing and on the front of your body. It must not be worn on your pants or leg. Do not cover over your race number with any backpack strap or article of clothing such as thermal top, waterproof jacket [including see-through jackets] or high-visibility vest. Do not fold, bend, your race number. It must be worn as is. Consider using a race belt to attach your number to.

[We do not supply pins for your bib]

 

2. Runners Emergency Instructions: In case of an emergency, please ring the numbers on the back of your bib. DO NOT ring your partner/family/support crew and ask them to talk to the race director or first aid. The runner MUST follow the instructions on the back of bib and contact one of these numbers.

 

3. If you are receiving a shirt, it will be in your race bag. Shirt sizes cannot be changed sorry, unless we have a spares, they were custom ordered as per the size you all recorded at registration.
