How to find the Fun Run Base tomorow:

A final note on how to get to the parking and fun run Base. Below is a map to help you navigate from State Highway 5 up to the fun run base.

Turn off SH5 on to Handcock Road, drive up the sealed road until you reach an open gate with a DoC sign and our great custom designed signage (See below).

Keep driving up the gravel road until you reach the gate that takes you to the parking area.

See you all tomorrow!

Why don't you make a morning of it?!? Bring the kids and a picnic blanket and spend a couple of hours outdoors enjoying the days events, maybe even a towel if the kids want a refreshing splash from the tanker? Or make them run! should tire them out good and proper!

Update: 22/02/2017

The weather forecast is looking good guys! Who thinks that a light dousing with lovely cool, refreshing, fresh water from a tanker after the run sound like a good idea??

Update:21/2/2017

4 Days until the CTL Offroad Fun Run is off and Running! (or jogging, or walking or however you plan on tackling it)!!
