Timing
As the event is not a race, timing is not really necessary. However, your safety is our number one priority, so for this purpose, as well as for your own information we will manually time the event and set up critical safety and timing check points along the course to ensure we are aware of your progress throughout the day and that you cross the line by cut off time.

Event Volunteers
There will be over 100 volunteers on the course from a variety of local community groups to ensure your day is enjoyable. Please communicate any issues or support needs to a volunteer in an amicable manner and they will do all they can to assist you. Each volunteer will have mobile communication during the day and will be in contact with the ECC at all times.
Please remember that volunteers help to make the event happen; if not for our volunteers kindly donating their time and services you simply would not have the opportunity to participate at all. For this reason we encourage you to THANK them whenever you have the opportunity. Please take the time to do this. |
