CHANGES FOR THE 2010 GNW100s

• The first unmanned water drop, which was previously 100m past Watagan Creek Road at 66.9km, has been moved to the top of the steep climb following Watagan Creek Road at 68.3km.  This has been done to make it easier to set out the water dump and to retrieve any runners forced to withdraw at this point (much faster 4WD access from the next Checkpoint).

• The format of the Detailed Directions has been changed, but not the content.

• There is a possibility, due to closure by the State Education Department, that we may not have access to Yarramalong Public School for Checkpoint 4/Finish 100km.  If this happens, this Checkpoint will need to be relocated somewhere else in Yarramalong.  There are several possible (inferior) options, though none has been pursued yet. If a change becomes necessary, all race documentation available on this website will be amended as necessary.

• Runners and Pacers will be issued with one (or maybe two) Tyvek wristbands to be worn throughout the race that will carry their name and race number and clearly identify, through the use of colour, which race they are in, or if they are a Pacer.

• The Presentation Ceremony, where small awards will be made to the Male and Female Winners in both the 100 Kilometre and 100 Mile events, will be at 3:00pm on Sunday, 14 November 2010, at the Finish area for the 100 Mile in Patonga.
