Race Day logistics:

- Teams report to Hyde Creek Rec Centre for the opening ceremonies at 8:15am. #1 runners will join the corral at the start line, while their team mates cheer them on.
- Once the race begins at 8:30am, the other team runners will make their way by vehicle to exchange point #1 at Gates Park.

If your #1 runner is continuing to exchange point #2, give them some encouragement!!
- If your #1 runner just finished, gather them and your team then head to exchange point #2 at Castle Park.
- Once the exchange point #2 tag has been made, gather your team and head to exchange point #3 on the Poco Trail at Tinhouse Brewing for your final exchange.
