Event Details
Equipment
COMPULSORY EQUIPMENT CHECKS
All athletes taking part in Trail Run Australia must have their compulsory equipment checked BEFORE collecting race packs at registration.
If athletes fail an equipment check at registration they will need to find a replacement item before collecting the race pack.
So the key take out is… Have ALL the compulsory and discretionary equipment (if required) with you at registration.
Discretionary Equipment
Discretionary equipment such as water proofs and thermals are those items required in unexpected weather conditions. For the Sunshine Coast event a decision as to whether these need to be carried will be made by the race organisers on the Friday prior to the event and published on social media channels.
If discretionary equipment is required to be carried it MUST be brought to registration for the equipment check before registration.
Equipment List
WHY IS COMPULSORY EQUIPMENT REQUIRED?
Basically it’s so you can have a safe and enjoyable event and you have options to look after yourself in the unlikely event of an injury or illness.
View full details here
ON COURSE EQUIPMENT CHECKS & PENALTIES
Random equipment checks can occur at any time during the event. For fairness to all athletes, a 30 minute time penalty will apply for every item that is missing. This time penalty will be served at the location of the equipment check point so a runner will not be able to proceed on course until the time penalty is served.
During this time, the runner must arrange for the missing items(s) to be replaced or they will not be permitted to continue on course even after the time penalty has been served. For severe breaches of compulsory equipment or failure to comply with the requests of event marshals, the runner may be disqualified.
Where it is not feasible to serve a time penalty on course, the time penalty will be added to the runner’s overall
NUTRITION & HYDRATION
Nutrition and hydration play a major part in your experience at the event, it can mean the difference between finishing or not making it to the finish line and will definitely make a difference in your performance and enjoyment on the day.
It is recommended that athletes train with their planned nutrition before the event so your body is used to what will fuel it on the day.
Aid Stations, are located on the course. Please refer to the Aid Station information here for full details.
MEDICAL
Trail Run Australia has experienced medical and first aid personnel located at check points throughout the course, however, some of the course includes remote trails which may mean that medical assistance can take longer than usual to arrive. Below are some tips that could assist you in avoiding a medical situation or managing one if it occurs.
- Stay well hydrated: Hydrate well before the start. Urine that is clear before you start the event is a good indicator that you are well hydrated. Drink regularly and often throughout the entire event.
- Stay well fuelled: Your body needs fuel to function and even more so during strenuous activity. Feed it! Train with the nutrition you will use on the day so your body knows what to expect. Take small snacks often.
- Be prepared for the weather conditions: Plan your clothing and equipment to match the weather conditions on the day.
- Look after each other: We’re all out here to have a great time and enjoy the event, look out for other athletes, assist in an emergency and report any incidents or concerns to the next marshal on the course. Support each other along the way.

After completing 2 full laps and passing the lap point at Race HQ twice head out again to CP1 where you turn left and follow the course to the finish line.

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:
- To continue in the event poses a risk to the participants safety;
- There is not sufficient daylight hours to enable the participant to finish safely;
- Permit times do not permit an extension of the event times; or
- 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:
- Half Marathon | 3:20
- 11k | 2:00
- 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 you follow the trail run signage.
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.

UNABLE TO ATTEND DUE TO ILLNESS – WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THE EVENT DATE
As per the event refund policy, no credit or refunds are applicable from one week prior to the event date. This is due to the fact that by this time 99% of costs have been invested in the delivery of the event and in most cases cannot be recouped if a participant cannot attend.
Over the past three years with the impact of the pandemic In2Adventure have continued to monitor an ever-changing environment and have adapted the refund/credit policy to minimise, as much as possible, the impact on the events and their attendees.
Based on the current situation, In2Adventure will honour the following for the Sunshine Coast MultiSport Festival on 22-23 Oct 2022:

- Doctors Certificate: Provide a doctor’s certificate dated between the dates above specifically stating the athletes inability to compete on the event date.
Important Note: The note must be from a doctor. A note from a chemist, physio, massage therapist, chiropractor or similar does not suffice.
- Send an Email: Send an email to info@in2adventure.com.au with the Subject ‘50% Credit Due to Illness’ with all required information before the event.
- Information: Please include the following information:
- A copy of your entry confirmation email;

- 50% Credit: If all of the above criteria are met, (ie dates are relevant, and all information has been included in the request), a 50% credit will be issued via email after the event, within three weeks.
Important Note: Unfortunately, if the request is outside of the dates outlined, or the relevant information is not included, the request will not be able to be actioned and no response will be able to be sent. So, the key take out is, please be sure to include all of the relevant information required when sending a request.
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:
- The general weather conditions in the area;
- Duration and distance of the course;
- Technical difficulty of the course;
- Event terrain;
- The remoteness of the event course;
- Time to emergency response;
- Time to hospital/medical services;
- Expected participants skill level; and
- 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?
