Just a few reminders to ensure you are 'good to go' on Sunday: 

• CASH only at the venue - there will be food & drink and coffee vans on site (the nearest ATM is in Ashburton! There is limited mobile phone coverage on site so there will not be eftpos available)
•  Race numbers can be picked up Friday 24 Nov - 10am-5pm or Saturday 25 Nov - 10am-1pm at the Ashburton Frontrunner (the Registration Tent will be open on Race Day at 7am, however this is a very busy time so we would HIGHLY recommend you do pick it up on the Friday or Saturday if you are able to)
• Please allow PLENTY of time to get to the event - expect delays as we try and get everyone parked! The address is 1754 Longbeach Rd - normal travelling time from Ashburton is approximately 20 minutes but you need to at least double this for travelling pre-briefing times!
• Please remember this event is a 'challenge' not a 'walk in the park' - therefore you will come across obstacles such as creeks and uneven ground etc. Getting your feet wet is all part of the fun!
• The race is held on a working farm with stock animals and therefore no domestic animals are to be brought onto the property.  Sorry - dogs must stay home! DO NOT leave them in vehicles in the carpark please.    Also there are the usual hazards you would expect on a farm - such as beehives in nearby paddocks and pollen etc from the crops and surrounding vegetation so please bring along any medication you might need during the race - such as inhalers or antihistamines.
• This event is SMOKE FREE.
• We are very aware of the importance of biosecurity and the potential risk associated with travelling between farms.  PLEASE ensure all bikes, vehicles and shoes are cleaned before the event.  Please don't be offended if an event official asks you to clean your vehicle, bike, or footwear.
• Last year the site, very quickly, became congested with bikes - Please ensure bikes are kept out of the main site and stored in the area behind the marquees allocated for holding bikes while not in use please.
• PLEASE have a good read of our terms and conditions if you haven't already as these include a number of key safety instructions - such as keeping at least 2m from cliff edges, sticking to marked tracks and what to do in the case of an emergency.
• We hope you stay after your race and enjoy the hospitality and the prizegivings!
