optional services

CAMPING PACKAGES

We normally offer camping options at:

MAIN START VENUE (0 km) – Friday night before your challenge (generally suits 100 km, 3/4, 1st Half / 1st Quarter Challengers).

Looped Routes – the start is also the finish, so Saturday night camping is bookable for ‘fast finishers’ (runners / joggers).
Figure of 8 Routes – the start is ~50 km Half Way (for 2 Day 100 km) & Finish (for 1st Half) – so Saturday night camping is bookable.

HALF WAY VENUE (~50 km) – Saturday night – primarily for the ‘2 Day Daylight 100 km’ & ‘3/4 Challengers’ option for overnight sleep / recovery – AND also works for ‘1st Half Finishers’ & for the early Sunday morning 2nd Half Starters.

ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGES OR ‘PITCH ONLY’ OPTION (inc Camper Vans) ARE AVAILABLE

For any additional campers reserve a spot on an already booked Pitch ONLY/Campervan option on our campsite. (Please ensure when booking for extra campers you have already purchased a Pitch ONLY/Campervan space).

Parking for your vehicle is normally available at :

The Major Start / Finish Venues. This combined with the ‘before & after’ bus transfer options will enable you to join & leave the event ‘sensibly’.
