EVENT OPTIONS

You carry ALL gear on your back at all times - excluding the tent which our crew provide and move from camp location to camp location for you.

Each competitor has a camp bag which our crew move from camp location to camp location. ALL of your gear must fit INSIDE this bag. Maximum size for this bag is 70cm x 40cm x 40cm and maximum weight is 15kg (excluding water). Each day athletes will take their run vest out of their supported bag for that stage. On each stage you must carry all your mandatory gear, excluding your sleeping bag and sleeping mat. The rest of your gear remains in your supported bag and our crew will transport between camp sites.

SELF SUPPORTED

ALL athletes, irrespective of which category they are entered into (Unsupported or Supported) are to note that Southern Lakes Ultra is a “Self Supported” Event. This meaning, all athletes are to travel the course under there own foot power, all athletes are to provide their own food, mandatory equipment and medical supplies, with knowledge of how to use, for the entire week. Whilst we have crew, including Medical Crew, it is each athletes individual responsibility, to have ultimate responsibility for their own safety and management through out the week. This includes personal safety management, injury management, illness management and ultimately the ability to self manage and care for themselves through out the week.

For all Competitors, in either category, Medical Support, Tents, Water and Electrolytes (Precision Hydration) is provided.
NO outside help is allowed for any competitor. This is a self-completed event. If outside assistance is deemed necessary, the Race Director / Medical Director will organise this for you.
When entering, you will need to select the category you wish to participate in - Supported or Unsupported.
