Guidelines

  • The Personal Drinks service is available to competitors in the full marathon only

  • Drink containers must be personally dropped at the Whitford Nodes 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 Whitford Nodes Park

  • Special Drink containers must be retrieved post event by 12:45am after which they will be returned to the registration area for pickup.
