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.

Race numbers can be sent via post (at an additional cost - select during registration), at pre-event bib collection sessions at our event partners; Wild Earth, mygc physio Ashmore location and Cadence Cafe OR on the day of the event.

Note that pre-event bib collection sessions are delivered by Trail Trips, not the stores themselves. Collection outside of nominated times is not possible. Times for sessions will be advertised via the Event Guide, social media and competitor emails closer to the race date.

There are no course cut-offs for any event, however it is strongly recommended that if you wish to walk the majority of the ‘In the Raw’ Trail Run course that you choose to enter the 15km event. While there is no official cut-off, we reserve the right to shorten the route or withdraw runners from either event if heat, weather or an overly onerous task is being asked of our volunteers. Please consider others when choosing your event.

Participant Expectations

We expect that participants of the ‘In the Raw’ Trail Run events will be mindful of the fact that we are guests of ‘Raw Challenge Gold Coast, Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service, Gold Coast City Council and the Numinbah Valley community and we particularly note the following:

Participants found littering or vandalising any section of the course, either within the ‘Raw Challenge’ property or on the course, may be disqualified from the event.
Participants are to remain on the marked courses at all times. Do not trespass on neighbouring properties or into the National Park or Conservation Area.
Participants and spectators must drive to and from the event safely and be considerate of where they park. The event has it’s own off-road parking area. Please utilise this facility and refrain from parking on the roadside. We STRONGLY encourage competitors to car pool to reduce the stress on the immediate environment and planet earth as well :-)
Please be considerate of residents of Numinbah Valley and keep noise at a minimum when arriving at and leaving the event.

Participant Safety

We have taken considerable care in event planning to ensure that the events are safe and enjoyable.

There are a few key points that you need to be aware of:

Any vehicular traffic on course will be there for the benefit of competitor safety or in case of emergency, please allow them passage.
Marshals will be placed along the run courses, in addition to signage, to direct runners. Please ensure that you listen to and follow marshal directions.
