It can be very hot during this summer event and there's a real risk of overheating when you're out running or walking. Remember to hydrate well during the day, as well as before and during the event. There will be a water station at 2.5km and stations with water and cold flannels at 5km & the finish.

Join us after the event for a drink and spot prizes of $200 in shopping vouchers and frozen chooks at the Wakefield Hotel.
