Before you run...

Yes! Many runners choose our shorter distances as their first trail event. You should be comfortable running short distances and running or walking on stairs and uneven terrain.

No - but the following is highly suggested! 1. Drinking vessel​ Sydney Trail Series is a cup-free event as part of our commitment to reducing waste. Water & Tailwind Nutrition (https://www.tailwindnutrition.com.au/)will be available at the start/finish and on-course — but please BYO water bottle, hydration pack or collapsible cup to drink from.   Need one? Tailwind reusable speed cups will be available for purchase on the day — and are free for the first 150 bundle entrants.   2. Mobile phone It's a good idea to carry one, just in case - emergency contacts are listed on the back of your bib.​ ​ 3. Trail shoes We recommend running in shoes designed for the trails to minimise injury, or at minimum a pair of running shoes with good tread (not your oldest most worn out pair!). Wearing a pair of longer socks is also helpful on the trails.

Bib collection is available on race morning during registration - check times on the individual race schedule pages.

We currently do not provide medals for all finishers, - we have prizes awarded to the top three male/female in each event. Prize giving takes place at the race presentation (please refer to the Race Timetable for times). You must be at the race presentation to collect your prize. We are unable to post prizes after the event.

Yes, toilets are a short walk from the start / finish area at all our events. St Ives showers: available at the grandstand of the main arena Manly Dam showers: take a quick dip in the dam, then find the shower in the accessible toilet. ​
