ABILITY

The Shire Run Carnival 400m Dash is a great chance to test your lactic acid system- the pain is over quickly!
We also will have an allocated time for Wheelchair athletes and Frame Runners- please contact us via email to enter this category (info@shireruncarnival.com.au)
There is NO cut off time for the 400m Dash, walkers welcome!

Bibs will include an embedded timing chip and are to be worn on the FRONT of your running top/singlet.
Bib Collection will be available on the day from the bib collection area (in the undercover area next to the track) from 7:15am.
Please aim to arrive 60 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of your event to allow for parking and bib collection

START PROCESS

All runners/walkers should be ready 5 minutes prior to the start time. Access to the start line will be through the gate near the finish line on the outer edge of the track.
Please follow instructions of the marshals as to when to move through the gate and to the start line.
Runners will start individually approximately every 10 seconds (time trial style)
Dependant on numbers, runners may be called based on specific estimated finish times, to make for a safe and enjoyable event (if you are unsure, please start at the back).
NOTE: There is no need to rush, as your net time will not start until you have crossed the start line (and all results are based on this net time)

The following age categories will be on offer for the 400m Dash (Male & Female): 14/Under, 15-18, 19-39, 40+ (age as at 31st December)
