NB. The race can be postponed due to storm conditions on the tops of the Southern Crossing. This is decided 6:30 AM Saturday. If this happens then the times for Sunday are the same as for the Saturday.
If you are able to help, then you will receive, a event cap, a Wilderness Magazine (including a subsidised subscription form), a MSC survival bag and lunch on race day. Friday night’s meal is provided and accommodation (cabin) is provided at the camp in Kaitoke. Plus petrol vouchers too if you need to transport yourself to Kaitoke and or Otaki Forks. I already have other volunteers confirmed who could provide transport to help save extra vehicles.
