PRIZEGIVING

Prize giving will be at the event base at Barlow Road with the 5 and 10km prize giving at 11.30am and the 21km and 42km at 1:30pm.

The trophies (yup. trophies) and major spot prizes will be awarded at this point. Come and enjoy your hard earned FREE beverage (remember to take the free beverage voucher included in your race pack) and take a weight off, chat/compare war stories with other runners glowing with achievement.    

FIRST AID

We will have full  on course First Aid facilities on site captained by the indomitable Moose Fraser. Moose and his crew will be in the forest taking care of business, so fear not. Matt Rayment will be on the finish line the whole time and is an RN also.

Moose will be easily identifiable on the day due to A) His size, brother is tall B) The comforting glow of good natured competence that radiates from him…

Out on the trail, if you see someone take a spill, stop and make sure they are okay. If they are, rate their fall out of a possible 10 points and carry on with them. If not, stay and make sure they are ok. If they cannot keep moving, send someone back for the nearest Marshal/aid station or wait for the sweep. We’ll take it from there (Those helpful people will have their time adjusted).

COMPULSORY GEAR

There is no compulsory gear for the 5,10, or 21km events. We do recommend trail shoes, however. For the 42km event we require a first aid kit, seamed sealed jacket and at least 500ml of water and nutrition. Gear will be checked at registration.

AID STATIONS

We have five aid stations in total for the three courses. There is access to one on the five kilometre course, two on the 10 kilometre course and four on the 21 kilometre course. All Aid Stations will be stocked with R-Line, water and mixed lollies.  The marathon runners can team a drop bog at the start/finish area to restock/refuel from if needed.

A NOTE ON MARSHALS

All marshal instructions must be obeyed without question. This is a safety issue. Participants ignore marshal instruction at their own risk.

COURSE MARKING

We care about you. We don’t want to lose you. So we are heavy course markers. We use a lot of tape.

We currently have a system of LCD Marking (Lowest Common Denominator marking) whereby Rebecca and I think of someone we know who you could kidnap without a blindfold owing to their geographical unavailability. (Hint: It’s Gene Andrews) We imagine them orienteering on bath salts and mark accordingly. To stay safe only follow the tape, marshals and occasional Rivram signage (which will both be shown at briefing) WE WILL ONLY USE THESE THREE MEANS OF COURSE MARKING. Ignore dots on trees and triangles etc. DO NOT CROSS TAPE  that is laid across the ground.

If you go more than 20m without seeing tape you’ve gone the wrong way. Go back and look for the tape. If you do cross the tape and get lost you automatically become the 2022 LCD for Riverhead Rampage, which is an achievement in itself I guess. ….

HAZARDS

This is a trail race so you’ll be expecting off camber, roots, some rocks. Hills and sweet descents are not hazards as defined by Riverhead Rampage.
