Race Numbers
All Runners will be issued at Check-In with one (or maybe two) Tyvek
wristbands that must be worn for the duration of the race. The
wristbands will carry the Runner's Name and
Race Number, and be colour-coded to distinguish between the 100 Mile
and 100 Kilometre events.
Unofficial Runners
No unofficial
runners are permitted in the GNW100s. Any identified unofficial
runners will be prevented from entering the GNW100s in future years
and have their names reported to the
Australian Ultra Runners Association.
Disqualification
The Race Director may prevent any Runner from starting (even after
their Entry has been accepted) or continuing in the GNW100s if any
of the following occurs.
-
The
Runner, their Pacer, or their Support Crew breach Race Rules.
-
It is decided that the Runner may be placing themselves or others at
any risk whatsoever.
-
Any other reason deemed sufficient by the Race Director.
Stashes
Runners may not store supplies or equipment of any description along
the Course.
Littering
Absolutely no littering is allowed anywhere along the Course or at
Checkpoints. Breaches of this rule by Runners, their Pacers or
their Support Crew will result in disqualification of the Runner.
Toilets
Runners who need to relieve themselves must leave the trail to do
so, and must bury any waste. There are no toilets available at
Checkpoints 1 and 6, one toilet at Checkpoint 3, and multiple
toilets at all other Checkpoints and the Start and Finish.
Vehicles
Runners are not allowed to take a ride in a vehicle where it
advances their progress or compensates for Runner error. If they
do, they are considered to have withdrawn from the Race. They will
not be allowed to continue, and if they do, they will not be listed
as finishers, and risk being barred from entry in future GNW100s.
Runners may, after checking into a Checkpoint, rest and get warm in
a STATIONARY vehicle. Once a Runner has checked out of the
Checkpoint they may not get back into any vehicle without being
disqualified.
Switching
Runners in the 100 Mile Race may opt to finish at 100 Kilometres and
be included in the 100 Kilometre Race results, but there will not be
a refund of the Fee difference and they will not be awarded a medal
as a 100 Kilometre finisher.
Dropping Out
Runners can withdraw from the GNW100s at any Checkpoint but may have
to wait for the last Runner to pass, or the Checkpoint Cut-Off time
to be reached, for transport to the Finish unless they have their
own Support Crew. It is imperative that withdrawing Runners notify
the nearest Checkpoint IN PERSON of their withdrawal so that no
unnecessary concern is caused or searches are conducted.
Sleeping Out
Any Runners planning to sleep during any part of the GNW100s are
responsible for providing their own equipment and facilities for
doing so.
