RUNNING WAREHOUSE
MARATHON

The cut-off time for the Running Warehouse Marathon is six hours after the last runner crosses the start line. Adherence to these cut-off times will ensure roads can be reopened in accordance with our event permits. Cut-off times are based on chip-time start not gun-time.

To assist you in achieving your marathon goals we have a team of pacers who will run at an even effort/pace.

The pacers are like on-course coaches, encouraging you and other runners along the way.

Each pacer will be easily identifiable. They will each be carrying a flag that clearly displays their target finish time.

For the Running Warehouse Marathon, there will be pacers for the following times:

• 2:40

CAN RUNNERS BRING THEIR OWN DRINKS AND HAVE THEM DELIVERED TO THE DRINKS STATIONS?

ONLY elite and preferred runners have access to this service.

You will have the relevant corral letter printed on your bib to allow you access to drop off.

PERSONAL DRINKS DROP OFF:

You must drop your drinks BEFORE 5:30PM Saturday. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Bottles clearly labelled with your NAME & BIB Number. Ensure they do not leak. Do not attach sharp items/sticks.

CAN I HAVE SOMEONE HAND ME GELS/HYDRATION/FUEL OUTSIDE OF DESIGNATED DRINK STATIONS?

Elite/Preferred runners must adhere to World Athletics rules and may only receive assistance from official drink stations.

If you are not an Elite/Preferred runner, you may choose to be handed a drink bottle by a support person outside of a drink station zone.

NOTE: Those providing assistance must travel via open roads. Bikes/Scooters are not permitted on any section of the course (except for event officials). Neuron Scooters will be geolocked and will not function within the course during the event.

Ballarat is a beautiful city and we want to ensure it stays that way.

Please help our wonderful Volunteers and Crew by discarding all waste in the bins provided in the designated litter zones at each Drink Station.

PLEASE TAKE EXTRA CARE WITH GEL TOPS.
