Registration

Open from 6:00pm and location signposted on site, and this is where to collect race numbers.  

Registration for each race will close 15 mins before the start. Runners who are late to registration will not be allowed to register and then run.

Race numbers
Your race number should be secured to the front of your kit using safety pins. It must be worn on the garment that will be visible when you finish the race. Runners are not permitted to transfer their number to another runner without letting us know prior to the event. Any runner found to be racing with another runner’s number will be disqualified.

Individual Prizes

Here is the deal, we are a volunteer not for profit race, so each year once we pay what we cost to run the event we split the entry fees equally to prize fund and Kyniska Advocacy less cost to run the race so the more that enter the more we can offer to the prize fund and the more donation we can give to Kyniska for the year ahead to support the athletics community.  The flip side of this is if we get lower entry, we have to scale our prize fund and donation so this is a big call to athletes, clubs and our fabulous running community to get out and support this event.

Kyniska Advocacy, a wonderful organisation which is advocating for new and better policies that protect, respect, and celebrate women and girls in sport. This event is another fundraiser for this organisation and would love a big show of support not just for the races but for all involved in Kyniska Advocacy - www.kyniskaadvocacy.com
