Information for all competitors:

Race Finish: Both distances finish at the same point – a public park and picnic area in the town of Dwellingup. Approximately 200 metres from the finish, you will come to Del Park Road. Directly in front of you (across the road) is the park and finish line. You must yield to traffic when crossing this road. We will not have a traffic warden.

Post-Race BBQ: We’ll provide a sausage and nice healthy whole grain bread (no white buns according to the race director!) for you at the BBQ afterwards. If you’d like anything more, please BYO. Plan ahead to have some dry warm clothes at the finish line so you can eat, drink, rejoice, cheer on other finishers, and swap stories for a while.

Authority of Race Officials: On race day, please respect the direction of the race director and volunteers.

Mandatory Check-In: It is mandatory that runners check in at the start and at each aid station.

Visible Race Numbers: Numbers must be visible and worn on the front. All runners must be checked through each aid station by a race volunteer. It is the runner's responsibility to ensure that the volunteer sees the number. This is for your safety.

Trail Etiquette and Environmental Respect: While running Six Inch you will be traveling through residential areas, campgrounds, and water catchment areas. The route is open to the public on race day so be courteous and aware of other users. Please be polite and respect other trail users and campers. Please do not litter the course with food wrappers or containers. This is a disqualifiable offence.

No Pacing: Non-participants may not accompany participating runners (on foot, on bike, by car, etc) along the course.

Dropping Out: If you find it necessary to drop from the race, please try to do so at an aid station. Notify the aid station volunteers and have them remove your bib number. If you feel you cannot get to the nearest aid station, stay on the trail so someone can find you. Do not leave the course without notifying an aid station volunteer. If we can't account for your whereabouts an expensive search and rescue operation could be initiated.

Mandatory Drop Out: Aid station volunteers have the authority to pull a runner from the event should they deem it unsafe for the runner to continue. The runner must comply with this decision.
