EVENT BRIEFINGS

The full race briefing for all Full Nugget and Half Nugget competitors is at 8:00 pm Friday night at the Waihi RSA, 71 Seddon Ave. It is highly recommended that all Full Nugget and Half Nugget competitors (teams, individuals), and a support crew member attend this briefing. We will explain race details and logistics, and update you on any last minute course changes, and we'll also advise you about any hazards out on the course, our safety procedures for race day.

All other race briefings will be held at your race start line, 15 minutes before your start time.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

  • Participants must wear the race numbers provided on the outside of their clothing at all times.
  • ALL ROADS ARE OPEN. All cycle competitors must adhere to the New Zealand road rules.
  • If you withdraw from your race you MUST notify an official as soon as practicable. This is essential to avoid unnecessary searches being conducted and/or emergency services being engaged.
  • Please don't drop litter anywhere on the course. All Aid Stations have rubbish bins.
  • It is recommended that you carry a basic first aid kit on the run and mountain bike legs.

AID STATIONS - CUPLESS

You should prepare to be self-sufficient for the duration of your race or leg(s). Our Aid Stations will have some fruit, water, and electrolyte drink available to help with your race nutrition, however this should be considered a top-up only and you shouldn't rely on it for your full race energy requirements.

Cups will not be provided at any aid stations. Please BYO cup/bottle or carry your own hydration needs to help us reduce our event waste.


SUPPORT CREWS

Support crews are not mandatory for individual athletes, and will probably have no impact on your race result. However they will make your logistics easier and are recommended if you are doing the Full Nugget or the Half Nugget solo.
