EVENT DETAILS

EVENT DATE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2024

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.

There will be no Aid Station for the Wild Earth ‘Wolf Pack Prowl’

There shall be just one (1) aid station on the longer course loop; located at the northern tip of the new loop on the Casuarina Grove Circuit. For those doing the 6km Run Resilience ‘Zombie Shuffle’ this won’t be until approximately the 4km point whilst for the 12km BROOKS ‘Haunted Hills’ participants, you shall pass this point twice; at approximately the 4km and 9.8km marks. The aid station will provide water in cups only.

Athletes are encouraged to carry their own water and/or sports drink, as well as any nutrition, if they feel this shall not be sufficient.

Due to the short nature of this event, no provision shall be made for personal nutrition needs.

FIXX NUTRITION will kindly be providing their product which you can access pre and post run.

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

In the event that the Event course is, in the opinion of the event organisers, unsafe (e.g. heavy rain, high winds, bushfires, "acts of god" etc), or at the direction of the Gold Coast City Council, Qld Parks & Wildlife Service, the Qld Department of Health or in accordance with any Queensland Government directives, or any other relevant authority, organisers may be required to postpone or cancel the event.

Every attempt will be made to reschedule. Should a participant be unable to make the rescheduled date or no suitable date be available (due to venue unavailability, clashes with other events, land owner changes, etc); then all participants shall automatically be re-allocated to the Virtual option AND refunded 25% of their entry. Finisher medals and race gifts will be mailed to competitors who complete the event and post their result online.
