COVID-19 | The New Event Normal

The New Event Normal

COVID-19 has certainly impacted every aspect of our lives, but we can’t wait to get back to doing what we love, getting back to the spectacular destinations we miss, and enjoying the sports we are so passionate about.  To do that, it’s going to mean a few changes, because as much as we want to get back to events, we also want to ensure that when we do, that it has a positive outcome for our athletes, our team, our volunteers and the communities where we operate.

That means we’re all going to have to work together to make it happen, and that means a new ‘Event Normal’.  Below is a summary of the changes you will see at your next In2Adventure event, including the new ‘Self Support Strategy’. This is all about protecting what is ultimately more important than a sporting event, it’s about staying safe, protecting our health, and being respectful of others and looking after the well-being of our mates.

We know it will be a challenge, but the good thing is that we know our In2Adventure family thrives on a challenge… after all it’s why we all do these tough, mad sports that we do.  We thank you all in advance for supporting these initiatives and ultimately protecting the people and the Off Road Sports we love.

It is important to note that these guidelines will be subject to change as the COVID-19 situation continues to develop and change.  These guidelines are applicable from 20 July, 2020, and will be updated when and if required.

Based in one of Australia’s most iconic locations and taking in some of the most spectacular alpine scenery in the country, the Snowies Ultra course is set to challenge Australia’s trail running fraternity with a course that promises to delight, challenge and inspire at every turn.

The 50k Ultra will start with an epic journey along the Lower Thredbo Valley Track for 17 epic kilometers of challenging remote wilderness trail.  Starting from Gaden Trout Hatchery runners cross the imposing suspension bridge across the Thredbo River to the start before climbing into the Alpine wilderness as the trail traverses and climbs along the Thredbo River to Bullocks Hut.  Enjoy the epic views, natural beauty and inspiring running that this trail brings to the Snowies Ultra.

On arriving at Bullocks Hut, it’s into Lake Crackenback Resort to the cheers of the crowd where, after the first 20km a welcome Aid Station awaits before continuing the epic journey along the Thredbo Valley Track via the Muzzelwood loop to Ranger Station passing by the Diggings and Ngarigo Aid Stations along the way.

The course follows the awe inspiring Thredbo Valley which undulates and climbs to Ranger Station alongside the Thredbo River within Australia’s iconic Kosciuszko National Park before a return downhill journey back to the 4.5-star luxury of Lake Crackenback Resort.

The event starts at an altitude of 1260m and runners will be tested with 48.5ks of rugged mountain terrain, technical single track, some challenging ascents, and awe inspiring downhills.

More about the Trail

Think this is a boring uphill slog? THINK AGAIN!

The Thredbo Valley presents some of the best running trails found anywhere in Australia. Yes, you’ll be gaining height, but you’ll be doing it along deceptively undulating trail that twists and turns with flowing descents along the way.

And the Scenery!….

Even though you’re working hard, runners will enjoy some of the most spectacular views in the Snowy Mountains Region as the Thredbo Valley leads you on a gradual climb through a diverse landscape including mountain ash forest, snow gum woodlands, riverine woodlands, mountain bog, wet heath and sub alpine grasslands. Among the many highlights of the trail are the numerous suspension bridges spanning the river, offering runners a brief reprieve from the trails, as well as spectacular views of the Thredbo River from above.

Runners will be afforded rewarding views of Porcupine Rocks exploding out of the rugged realms of the Ramshead Range, and discover a hidden gem in the Muzzelwood Wetlands.

Runners ascend the Thredbo Valley Trail (TVT) to the Ngarigo campsite  on the Thredbo River, before the return journey back to the Bullocks Hut before returning to the 4 star luxury of  Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa.

Even though you’re working hard, runners will enjoy some of the most spectacular views in the Snowy Mountains Region as the Thredbo Valley Trail leads you on a gradual climb through a diverse landscape including mountain ash forest, snow gum woodlands, riverine woodlands, mountain bog, wet heath and sub alpine grasslands. Among the many highlights of the trail are the numerous suspension bridges spanning the river, offering runners a brief reprieve from the trails, as well as spectacular views of the Thredbo River from above.

Runners will be afforded rewarding views of Porcupine Rocks exploding out of the rugged realms of the Ramshead Range, and discover a hidden gem in the Muzzelwood Wetlands.

Kids Events

Free Kids Mud Rats Run

This is a free, fun, non-competitive event for our youngest champions of tomorrow.  The run is an approx 500m course that takes runners around the obstacles within Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa before finishing at Race HQ to the cheers of the crowd.

Being a non-competitive event parents/guardians are more than welcome to accompany runners on the course.

Registration

Although this is a free event, parents/guardians are required to register and sign the waiver and release at registration prior to the event.  Each mud rat will receive a tag to wear during the run.

Please see the Event Timetable for registration times.

Aid Stations

Aid Stations

Aid Stations are located throughout the course.  Due to COVID-19 requirements aid stations will provide water refills only.  No cups will be provided and athletes will be required to fill their own drinks container using the the ‘COVID-19 Self Support Strategy’ outlined below.

Please note that NO OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE is permitted and athletes must be self sufficient for the entire event.  The exception to this is for the 50k Ultra Event where runners may access a personal support box and/or receive assistance from a support team at Race HQ and Ranger Station.

Water will be provided in esky’s and jerry cans for runners to refill bladders and bottles.  Runners will be provided access to the esky’s on a ‘first come, first

served’ basis.

Course Closure

Course Closure

At In2Adventure we don’t usually have cut off times and wherever possible make every effort to enable competitors to finish the event. The only exception to this is:

  1. To continue in the event poses a risk to the participants safety;
  2. There is not sufficient daylight hours to enable the participant to finish safely;
  3. Permit times do not permit an extension of the event times; or
  4. Logistics and staffing do not allow this.

With that in mind, it is however expected that entrants will have trained to be able to run the majority of the event.  Expected latest finish times for this event are:

  • Ultra Marathon | 9hr:00mins
  • Half Marathon | 3hr:30mins
  • 11k | 2hrs:00mins
  • 5k | 1:00

We focus very much on ‘participation’ which is one of our key corporate principles and within reason make every effort to allow each participant to finish where it is practical.

Signage

Course Signage

The trail run course is signed with red and white In2Adventure arrows, cones and tape. Follow the course as indicated by the signage.  It is important to note that the course will also be marked for the TreX Cross Triathlon so please ensure to follow the trail run signage.

In locations where the courses take different routes, A3 signs will be in place indicating the course ie Half, 11k, 5k etc

Marshals will be in place at strategic points throughout the course, however ultimately it is up to each competitor to know and follow the correct course route.

Car Hire
CAR HIRE & DRIVING TO THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS

With limited public transport within the Snowy Mountains car hire is the best option for travelling to the event and enjoying the region while you are there.  The drive along the Monaro Highway to the Snowies is one of the most picturesque drives in the country with lots to see and do along the way.  Driving distances to the Snowy Mountains are listed below

  • Sydney  approx 5.5hrs drive  View Car Hire Options from Sydney Airport
  • Canberra approx 2.5hrs drive View Car Hire Options from Canberra Airport
  • Melbourne  approx 6.5hrs drive View Car Hire Options from Melbourne Airport
THE DRIVE TO THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS
  • View Map & Directions

Driving the Kosciuszko Alpine Way is remarkable. The route winds its way through quaint country towns and alpine villages, with breathtaking views of the majestic mountains and sparkling rivers.  Take a stopover along the way at one of the many tourist spots including:

COOMA

Have a break in Cooma and visit the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and unravel the design and technology of the world famous Snowy Scheme.  Walk along Cooma’s Lambie Street to the Raglan Regional Art Gallery, passing the historic stone and timber architecture of the town.

Visit Cooma’s railhead, a functioning attraction with trains running to a regular timetable. Take a detour along Tourist Drive 1 south of Cooma and drive to the top of Mt Gladstone, 3km south of Cooma. Heidi’s Tea House at the top of Mt Gladstone provides great gluhwein and 360° views over
Cooma, the Monaro, the Snowy Mountains and Mt Kosciuszko.

BERRIDALE

Continuing towards the Snowies and just past the Snowy Mountains airport lies Berridale, a cross-roads village that features a local winery and cafés. Take some time to relax and enjoy the peacefulness.

LAKE JINDABYNE

As you get closer to the Snowy Mountains spectacular Lake Jindabyne comes into view. Stop at the Jindabyne Dam wall for  some great photos and scenic views. In Jindabyne itself visit the Snowy Region Visitor Centre for park passes and maps, and to view an interpretive display of the towns
amazing history.

In Jindabyne cycle along the lake’s edge, take a scenic or fishing boat charter, take to the air in a scenic flight or hire a runabout or catamaran for time on the water.

In Banjo Patterson park visit the monument to Count Paul Edmund Strzelecki, and learn about his amazing contribution to the region. Fish for Rainbow and Brown Trout, the occasional Brookie or Atlantic salmon from the lake, or in one of the many surrounding streams.

SOME TIPS WHEN DRIVING

1. In Australia we drive on the left – quite important to remember this one
2. Try to avoid driving around dusk and dawn as these are the main times for the local wildlife, including some very big roos, to be out on the road.  You don’t want to tangle with them, even in a vehicle.
3. Don’t underestimate distances. Australia is a big country and travelling between major towns and cities can be 100’s of kms (1 mile = 1.6km).

Climate

Weather

Mountain weather can be very unpredictable and can change very quickly.

Summer temperatures can get as high as the mid-thirties in the townships of the Snowy Mountains, however the night-time temperatures can get down to sub-zero on occasion, so be prepared for any weather. During the summer months temperatures will always be a few degrees cooler the higher the elevation you travel to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Have Compulsory Equipment?

As Event Organisers we are often asked why ‘Compulsory Equipment’ is included as part of some of our races.  The simple answer to this question is that it’s about keeping participants safe, which is the number one priority in any decision making related to our events.

Compulsory Equipment lists are developed by the event team and experts in the area based on a number of factors.  These include, but are not limited to:

  1. The general weather conditions in the area;
  2. Duration and distance of the course;
  3. Technical difficulty of the course;
  4. Event terrain;
  5. The remoteness of the event course;
  6. Time to emergency response;
  7. Time to hospital/medical services;
  8. Expected participants skill level; and
  9. Weather conditions on the day.

Compulsory equipment lists are developed based on what we believe is the minimum to keep our participants safe and well if they are delayed for any reason during the event.

Most times compulsory equipment won’t be needed during an event, however in the case where participants may find themselves injured, immobilised or exhausted, especially in poor weather conditions, then the compulsory equipment will aid survival until rescue can be actioned.

We are often asked why participants do not have the option to just take the gear that they think they require, and in an ideal world, this would be great, however, we don’t live in a world where we are able to know every person’s skills, knowledge and experience and their capacity to know and understand what the potential dangers could be.

Instead, we choose to use the experience, knowledge and expertise of those who are highly qualified in this area and have extensive knowledge of the local conditions to guide this decision making.

Another important aspect of an event is ensuring that it is fair for everyone participating.  A compulsory equipment list means that each person is carrying the same gear as every other participant and that is why random gear checks are often carried out during events to ensure that the participant has everything they need to stay safe and that everyone is taking part in the spirit of the event.

How Old Do I Have To Be To Race?

The minimum ages for each race distance are shown on the Entry Tab.

Ages for entry and race categories are calculated as of the 31st December each summer (middle of the race season).

Can I Enter On The Day?

If you miss the entry closure at 5pm Wednesday prior to the event, late online entries are open until 30 minutes before the close of registration on the day.

Late entries are accepted online only.

View Full Late Online Entry Information on the Entry Tab.

Do I Need A Licence To Race?

No licence or club membership is required to take part in this event.

Do I Need A Support Crew?

No! A support crew is not allowed for Half Marathon competitors and is not necessary or required for Ultra competitors.

We do however recommend bringing the whole family along to cheer you on and enjoy what the area has to offer.

Can I Carry A Music Device?

Competitors are permitted to wear personal audio equipment whilst taking part in the event.

However all competitors must have one ear clear at all times so that you can hear other runners, other trail users and approaching vehicles. You must switch off music as you approach and pass Course Marshals so that you can hear any directions given to you, you must switch off music when travelling on all public roads/footpaths so you can hear approaching traffic and other users. So while you may use iPods/Music players, it is up to you to use them in a safe manner so that you remain aware of your surroundings and things happening around you at all times.

This is for safety reasons to ensure that runners can be alert to their environment and ensure it is an enjoyable experience for all involved.

What Equipment Will I Need For The Event?

Participants are required to be self-sufficient for the event.

  • View the Event Equipment List on the Event Details Tab.

What Happens If An Event Is Cancelled Or Rescheduled?

A decision to cancel or reschedule an event will not be made lightly, however our main focus is competitor safety and respect for the environment in which we operate.  Sometimes situations outside of our control do result in this outcome.

  • A decision on event cancellation or rescheduling may be made on the evening before or on the day of an event.
  • If an event is cancelled a notice will be posted on the event website and social media channels.
  • Full details of applicable credits in the case of a cancellation or rescheduling can be found in the Event Refund Policy

Can I Change Or Transfer My Entry?

It is forbidden to participate in an event under another competitor’s name or to offer your entry to another participant. Transfer of entry to another competitor is not permitted. Details about changing entry details are outlined in the Event Transfer Policy

What If I Have To Withdraw From The Event?

If you are unable to make the event full details are outlined in the EVENT REFUND POLICY outlining necessary actions and follow up in the case of an applicable refund or credit.

Can I Run With A Pram Or Stroller?

Due to the nature of the trails used for the event, running with prams and/or strollers is not permitted.

Do I have to stay for presentations?

Staying for the presentations is not compulsory, however, it is a great way to finish the day and cheer on fellow competitors.  If you are unable to attend the presentation you will not be eligible for random draw prizes.

Medals and prizes can only be given to the actual recipient at presentations, other persons can not collect them on behalf of the recipient.

What if I’ve won a prize or medal & can’t stay for presentations?

If a prize winner is unable to stay for the Prize Giving Ceremony they may organise for their prize and/or medallion to be posted to them by contacting the team and sending a registered post bag (no bigger than A5 size) with postage paid to the address below. Prizes and medallions must be claimed within 4 weeks of the event.

The Snowy Mountains have some epic trails and awesome scenery, so it should be a great weekend away 🤩

I will be racing the Wild Brumby, which is 5 stages across 3 days. There is also some options for a shorter format 👌🏻

Hopefully I will see you there!
