Race Rules


1.Age Requirement: You must be 18 or older on race day.
2.Visible Numbers: Your running number must always be visible on the front of your body for marshals to record your times.
3.Stay on Course: Always follow the Ring O’ Fire trail as marked in our Map Packs. Straying from the trail may lead to disqualification or a time penalty. If you realise you're off course, promptly return to the marked trail. While we track all runners for safety, for transparency, always inform the nearest marshal if you deviate from the route.
4.Checkpoints: Check in and out of each checkpoint. Missing a checkpoint will result in disqualification. Checkpoints are there for your safety.
5.Honesty Books: Collect a page from each honesty book and deliver it to the next checkpoint. Missing or losing the page results in a five-hour penalty. If this pushes you over the event time limit, you will be disqualified.
6.Intentional Misses: Deliberately missing a checkpoint or honesty book leads to disqualification.
7.Cut-off Times: Cut-off times are strictly enforced. Failure to reach or leave a checkpoint within the designated times will result in disqualification.
8.Waiver: Sign a full waiver of liability when registering online. Participation is not allowed without this waiver.
9.Retirement: If you retire from the event, inform the nearest marshal and hand in your race tracker.
10.Mandatory Equipment: Carry the mandatory equipment listed on the Kit Page.
11.Pacers: Pacers are not allowed at any stage of the race.
12.Support Crews: Support crews are permitted and encouraged for all runners.
