5k = 11 years old
2k = any age
Anyone under the age of 11 will receive a child’s race number/bib with a ‘wristband’ included in their race pack. The number on the wristband will match the number on the child’s race bib. The wristband is to be worn by the child’s accompanying adult so that the child can be safely repatriated after completing the race in the event that they are running the 2k race on their own.

We recommend that any child aged 10 or under runs with an adult.
