5:45pm 2.5km Wild Earth ‘Wolf Pack Prowl’

All competitors shall complete their run before any other events are done. If numbers necessitate, wave starts will be implemented in 2-3 minute intervals. Parents are permitted to run with their child without registering (but they will not be timed or receive race inclusions).

6.20pm 12km BROOKS ‘Haunted Hills HUSTLE’

A new time for our longest race! It will be all but dark when you start and well and truly so by mid-run; so it is MANDATORY to wear or carry a torch to participate in this run. There is an 8.00pm cut off for this event - if you do not feel that you are capable at moving at a sufficient speed- noting the terrain and the dark, please choose a shorter event.

6:45pm 6km RUN RESILIENCE ‘Zombie Shuffle’

The sun will have set and the shadows will have grown long when you venture into the forest, SO YOU WILL NEED LIGHTING to get around. Please carry or wear a torch should you feel it necessary. Cut off is 8.00pm.

As always; organisers reserve the right to change the times as required to ensure the optimal athlete experience - please check the Athlete Information Guide sent out in the event week for any changes.

The Wild Earth Coastal High events will this year have on-course hydration provided by our partner; FIXX Nutrition. FIXX Fuel X will be available at all aid stations (not the waterpoints), including the start and finish line.

There will be FIXX Fuel X solution available at all the aid stations as well as a limited supply of FIXX gels. This will be their Lemon Sorbet gels. For further information; please refer to the FIXX website. You can also shop online or purchase FIXX products in store at Wild Earth.

There are three main aid stations at checkpoints:

Binna Burra Trail Head at 24.3km - not used for the CRUNCH. Hosted by Gold Coast Trail Chix
Raw Challenge at 14km/36km
Apple Tree Park 21km/43km - hosted by FIXX Nutrition

**All of which will have plain water and FIXX Fuel X electrolyte fluid, coke and an assortment of treats that will help you conquer the challenge you have set - yourself.

In addition to those stations; there will be additional water only stations at:

The Binna Burra Information Centre (5km/27km) - right back where you started your day!
Nerang/Murwillumbah Road (11km/33km) - adjacent to the Correctional Centre.
Woonoongoora Camp; located at the base of Apple Tree Stairs, just over 19km/41km in.

The Wild Earth Coastal High events are both CUP FREE events and the capacity to carry a minimum of 2L for CH50 or 1L for CRUNCH are part of the Mandatory Gear list. Please prepare appropriately.

Lastly; race day is NOT the day to ‘try’ something! We strongly recommend that you trial anything you wish to use on event day in your training - there's nothing worse than an upset stomach in an ultra run.

Each competitor shall receive a unique COASTAL HIGH finishers medal upon completion - and a gift at bib collection!
