⏱ Course Cut-Off Times
We do our absolute best to make sure every runner gets the chance to cross the line and soak up that finish-line feeling. 🙌
However, because we’re juggling multiple events across the weekend, there are times when we may need to move equipment, open a road, or get the next race set up.
👉 If you’re still out on course after the official cut-off, please be aware that:
-
Some event infrastructure (like finish arches or timing mats) may be taken down
-
Traffic management may be lifted and normal road use resumed
-
You’ll still be able to complete the course, but conditions may not be fully controlled
Your safety and experience are important to us, and we’ll always do our best to support you right through to the finish. 🏁💙
