WELLNESS STOPS
Wellness stops are located at intervals along the trail. They provide opportunities for your team to rest and refuel. While taking a break is an extremely important part of your event planning, make sure you keep an eye on the clock. Don’t spend too long at each stop, as it may put pressure on your team later in the day if you are getting close to the cut off times for each section.
Allied Health
Selected Wellness Stops will have allied health such as podiatry, massage and physiotherapy practitioners.
Aqualyte
Re-hydrate with a complimentary cup of our favourite electrolyte replacement drink at each stop.
Check In & Out
We keep an eye on how you’re traveling, provide support, answer your questions and ensure your spirits remain high.
Cheer Squad
We’ll add a spring to your step with your own private cheer squad as we congratulate you completing the section.
First Aid
Qualified first aid staff will be present at each Wellness Stop to provide assistance if required.
Food

Music

Rubbish

Seating

Shade / Shelter
