Race Schedule: FAQ

DRINK AND AID STATION LOCATIONS

Event drink stations have been located as evenly as possible to cater for the 5km, 10km, 21km, 34km and 42km race distances. Please note there is no provision for drinks for the 2km race, although like the other distances this race option does pass public facilities where participants can find water and toilets. For the 21km, 34km and 42km this provides hydration opportunities x4 times for each full course lap. Marathon competitors have an option for the provision of Personal Drinks Station provision at the Mullaloo Beach (Tom Simpson Park) Drinks Station at the end of each lap - details below.

Guidelines

The Personal Drinks service is available to competitors in the full marathon (42.2km) and 34km only
Drink containers must be personally dropped at the Tom Simpson Park aid station by the athlete (this is located near the start). You can place more than one container/bottle.
Gels and energy snacks can also be left at the table but should also be clearly labelled with you race number or name.
No Balloons, flags or sticks are to be attached to bottles
Your race number or name must be clearly shown on the bottle container
It is your responsibility to find your own bottle at the Personal Drinks Station
You must not drop your bottle on course, it must be dropped at an aid station waste zone or place it on the empty table on the left of the path when exiting the aid station zone 'outbound'. Our Sunset Coast Coast happiness team member will then return it to the Personal Drinks Station for your next lap 'inbound' on the opposite side of the path. So athletes pick up their bottle on entry to the aid station zone and dispose or place it on the allocated table on exiting the aid station zone after each lap pass through the Start/Finish Aid Station at Mullaloo Beach (Tom Simpson Park)
Special Drink containers must be retrieved post event by 12:30am after which they will be returned to the registration area for pickup.
