COURSE CLOSURE CUT-OFF TIME
We Run The Night welcomes walkers but please be aware of the following. 21km walkers have 3 hours to complete this 21km course by the Course Closure Cut-Off time of 9.00pm and will need to maintain an average pace of 8.5 minutes per kilometre to meet the Start of the 4th Lap Cut-Off time of 8.15pm. In addition to this, if 21km walkers fall behind the pace that needs to be maintained while on the 4th lap, event crew may need to shift entrants to the footpath to enable safe road reopening. If you miss either cut-off you will however be rewarded with a finishers medal and 10km result placing. Our cut-off times are needed to meet traffic management requirements and are therefore not changeable.
