M2M Race Director’s Briefing

“Yumbah Narrawong Classic”..approx 14km

• The Race Director’s Role is to ensure the event is run safely, smoothly and fairly….and enjoyably.
• Registration/collection of numbers will be open from 8.00am on Narrawong Recreation Reserve. Close at 8.45am
• The M2Mouth 14km event will commence at 10.00am at the Fitzroy River mouth and will be run along the beach and will finish over the pontoon on the Narrawong Recreation Reserve at the finish line structure. A short distance will be across the gravel road near the oval.
• The bus taking runners to the start line will leave the Narrawong Recreation Reserve at 9.05am. Bags are provided for you to put excess gear in at the start and will be transported back to the finish line for you. Write your name on the tag. There is a 10 minute walk, from the bus drop off point, across dunes and through shallow water to the starting point of the race.
•  Race number bibs must be pinned on the front and be clearly visible when crossing the finish line. Failure to do so will mean you will not receive a time or be eligible for prizes. Pins will be provided.
• Competitors may run barefoot or in footwear. It is strongly recommended that footwear is worn as bare feet over the long distance do develop blisters. Competitors wearing shoes will need to allow for walking through shallow water prior to the starting point. Towels etc. can be bagged and returned to the bus and finish line for you. Wipes will be available at the start point to dry feet after the “water hazard” before putting shoes on. Bags can be collected from the Registration area after the event.
• Showers at the Caravan Park (free of charge) will be available for runners after their event. We thank the Caravan Park operators for this offer.
• Very basic toilet facilities exist at the Fitzroy River so it is recommended that you “go” at Narrawong before heading down there. Along the beach run I suggest the dunes are the best, and only, option.
• There will be a lead, and rear 4 wheeler motorbike accompanying runners. Markers have been placed at 1km intervals from Fitzy to Surry. Drinks will be available at the 6km and approx 11km marks. Please use bins 500m on.
• Nearing the Surry River there will be marshalls and signage to assist you. No overtaking on the narrow pontoon crossing the river. You will run across the pontoon and  then around the oval to the finish.
• Presentations will  follow the collation of results, at about midday. Finisher’s Certificates will be available to all participants. They may be collected at the registration table.
