SATURDAY 28th SEPTEMBER 2024 – Moree Water Park, Tapscott Rd, Moree
Beat the black soil with a packed morning of running events at the Moree Water Park. Saturday's courses will loop around the stunning ski lakes 10km south of Moree, navigating gravel and dirt tracks, with plenty of ideal spectating positions to catch the action. After their run, participants can recuperate in the Grove Juice Recovery Zone then cool off with a dip in the ski lake. With five distances on offer ranging from 3km to 36km, there is a race to challenge every ability.
On-track facilities will include water, electrolytes, energy gels and toilets. There are time restrictions for entrants in the NewPave Asphalt Triple (see below), however there are no time restrictions for entrants in any other event. Presentations will be held at the conclusion of the last race. Food and drink vendors will be on site to fuel participants and spectators.
Please note, Moree Water Park does not have bitumen paths. The running events will be held on uneven terrain and will be challenging for wheelchairs or prams. In the event of inclement weather in the week leading up to the event, the planned course may not be accessible and this may result in adjustments at the committee's discretion for the safety of participants.
