Information Pack (including waiver)
Mandatory Gear for Ocean Paddle Leg
A short update to the mandatory gear for the ocean kayak leg for the full course. Teams DO NOT need to take all their mandatory gear on the ocean kayak leg, this should be placed in Box A along with the empty paddle bag to be taken to TA1. You do need to carry some mandatory gear, this includes:
Paddle
PFD
First Aid Kit
Water
Helmet
This only applies to the Ocean kayak leg, all other legs including the second kayak leg require all mandatory gear.
Bike Drop
You will need to drop your mountain bikes AND Box B at a point on the course prior to the race. Make sure you allow yourself time to do this. It is approximately 5kms and 5mins drive from this location to race HQ and you need to have done this before race briefing.
DON’T FORGET! If it is easier for your team, one member can drop all the team bikes.
PLEASE NOTE: Full Course teams need a helmet for the first kayak leg!
The bike drop will be open to receive bikes between 0700 – 1000 ONLY. You must drop your bikes between these times. Don't arrive early and please be patient as its a small area and you need to unload your gear safely.
The location of the bike drop is on the eastern side of the Great Ocean between Forest Rd and Coalmine Rd.
