Only official participants displaying their race numbers are allowed on the route. The race numbers must be worn on the front at all times and must be clearly visible.

Other than the participant’s race number, personal advertising is permitted on clothing provided that it is not in conflict with any of our official sponsors.

It is compulsory that participants run with drinking bottles or bladder and carry a minimum of 1 litre of water between Check Points.

It is mandatory to run with a small race pack or vest. These water bottles and bladders can be filled at the Check Points, which are situated 8km - 12km apart.

Water will not be handed out in sachets.

Each participant must carry a headlamp (plus 1 set of spare batteries). Any participant found running in the dark without a working headlamp will be withdrawn from the event.

The route will be clearly marked. At any intersection there will be a marker board with an arrow to show the way. The entire route must be completed to finish the race.

If for any reason a participant leaves the marked route, he/she must return to the point of departure by foot. Any participant deliberately running off the route will be disqualified.

This event is a foot race and the entire route must be traversed by foot. Any participant with a disability of any kind that would require a form of mechanical device is to bring this to the attention of the race organisers for approval. Walking poles may be used.

Except in an emergency, no assistance may be accepted by any participant between Check Points.

If any emergency assistance is received between Check Points, this must be brought to the attention of the Check Point Captain at the next Check Point.

Each participant must make sure that he/she has been checked in and out of each Check Point.

Any form of litter or destruction of the natural habitat will result in immediate disqualification. Nothing at all may be discarded between Check Points i.e. food wrappings, empty gel packs etc.

Any interference with another participant will result in disqualification.

No headphones allowed. You are running in a national park, and the chances of you encountering wild animals is high - especially at night. You must be aware of your surroundings at all times.
