ABILITY 

  • The Shire Run Carnival 6km event is suitable for ALL levels, including walkers. We cater for runners/walkers who complete the 6km in under 18 mins through to walkers.

  • The event will be a rolling start, to prevent congestion on course.

  • There will be NO course cut off time.


BIB COLLECTION

  • 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.

  • Note: Dependant on numbers, runners may be called based on specific estimated finish times to make for a safe and enjoyable start (if you are unsure, please start at the back).

  • Please follow instructions of the marshals as to when to move through the gate and to the start line.

  • 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)
