Run entirely on smooth, compact surface with minimal elevation, mostly along Oxley Creek
-
1 lap per hour
-
6.706 km/lap with 69 metres of ascent/descent each lap
-
Be ready to start your next lap on the hour (at the ring of the bell) to continue … inches matter! (see rule 4, it’s as much about management as it is athletic ability)
-
Last one standing has to complete another hour on their own to win or they’re also a DNF
-
All 'non-winners' get a DNF memento to commemorate their failure.

For the statisticians among you, a matrix of distance and time (a list of distances reached at each hour/lap) can be downloaded from HERE
The rules
-
Each lap runs out to the ‘Secret Forest’ and back via Pelican Island in both directions - the time limit for each lap be one hour
-
Starting Corral
-
Will be measured to fit the starting field
-
Will remain the same size throughout the event
-
Participants must be in the corral at the bell/horn
-
-
Starts
-
Each lap starts precisely 1 hour after the last
-
A warning will be issued 3, 2 and 1 minute prior to the start of each lap
-
All participants must start at the bell/horn from the corral (no exceptions)
-
-
Laps
-
Except for restrooms, participants may not leave the course until each lap is completed
-
No non-participants (crew) on the course, including eliminated runners
-
No personal aid during the lap, other than from the aid station on course
-
Each lap must be completed within the hour, including the final lap
-
No artificial aids, including trekking poles
-
Participants may utilise the assistance of event crew or other participants crews if available between laps
-
-
Once we have a single participant ‘standing’, he or she must complete a lap alone within the hour to win
-
If no single runner can complete a final lap, there will be no winner and thus, all participants will be recorded as a DNF with the amount of full laps completed against their name – if this is the case, the ‘Last One Standing’ will be recognised as such but will be a DNF
-
Instruction from any event crew/marshal must be adhered to while on course
-
Race directors decisions in all matters are final
