Race Day Pick Up
All participants race packs must be collected between 12pm and 4.30pm on Saturday 31 May at the Marina Village car park on Mulherin Drive.
Please bring your confirmation email either the printed version or on your phone.
If you can’t make it, someone else can collect your pack on your behalf. The person collecting your pack will need your registration confirmation to claim your pack.
Corporate teams only need one person to pick up team packs.
Only registrations for the 21.1km, 10km, 5km and 3km will receive a singlet/t-shirt if registered by 14th April 2025. If you registered after this date, you may have been lucky to still snag a shirt as we had ordered extras.
If Race Pack and shirts/singlets aren’t collected by 4.30pm on Saturday 31 May at the Marina Village car park on Mulherin Drive they will not be available unless arranged prior with the committee.
Premium Last Minute registrations available online until 3.00pm Saturday 31 May. E-ticket holders need to collect race packs by 4.30pm on Saturday 31 May 2025.

Parking
Parking conditions for the 2025 event have changed with limited parking at the venue. Parking is available south of Mulherin Park which will have 700 parks on the day, however, to minimise congestion (and your stress!) we are encouraging all participants to use our FREE RIDE & RUN SHUTTLE.
Please follow the directions of our parking marshals. For the safety of all participants, note the designated parking areas and please obey all traffic rules. We recommend taking the free bus and car pooling to ease traffic congestion.
Ride & Run Shuttle
The FREE Ride & Run Shuttle will have its own exclusive route and event access point – meaning you won’t need to stress about road closures, parking or logistics.
Shuttle bus seats must be booked in advance to ensure we run enough services on the day. Add the bus to your registration or if you have already registered, simply login to your Race Roster account to edit your registration and add the bus.
You can also book your spectators on the buses.
