Only official participants displaying their race numbers are allowed on the route. The race numbers must be worn on the front at all times and must be clearly visible.

No personal seconding is allowed, and no pacers are allowed.

Other than the participant’s race number, personal advertising is permitted on clothing provided that it is not in conflict with any of our official sponsors.

Participants must carry every item on the required gear list for the full duration of the race.

The route will be clearly marked. At any intersection there will be a marker board with an arrow to show the way. The entire route must be completed to finish the race.

If for any reason a participant leaves the marked route, he/she must return to the point of departure by foot. Any participant deliberately running off the route will be disqualified.

This event is a foot race and the entire route must be traversed by foot. Any participant with a disability of any kind that would require a form of mechanical device is to bring this to the attention of the race organisers for approval. Walking poles may be used.

Except in an emergency, no assistance may be accepted by any participant between Check Points.

If any emergency assistance is received between Check Points, this must be brought to the attention of the Check Point Captain at the next Check Point.

Each participant must make sure that he/she has been checked in and out of each Check Point.

Any form of litter or destruction of the natural habitat will result in immediate disqualification. Nothing at all may be discarded between Check Points i.e. food wrappings, empty gel packs etc.

Any interference with another participant will result in disqualification.

ONLY Bone-conductor headphones will be allowed. You are running in a national park, and the chances of you encountering wild animals is high - especially at night. You must be aware of your surroundings at all times. If caught with any other form of headphone, participants will be disqualified and removed from the course.

All participants must sign their registration forms and collect their race number and satellite tracker at Registration at Hayterdale Trails between 17:00 and 19:00 on Thursday the 26 March, and again from 07:00 to 09:00 on Friday, 27 March.

Mandatory kit inspection will also take place here, so please ensure you bring your race vest/pack with all required items. If you do not have the required items you will not be allowed to start the race.

Entrants can drop 2 drop bags off at the same time. One will be placed at CP Golf, approximately 80km into the race, and one will be taken to the finish line for you.

There is a compulsory race briefing at 10:15 in the Lapa in Main Camp at the Addo Elephant National Park. This includes a final roll call of starters. Any athlete not attending the race briefing will not be allowed to start.

There are 3 internal race cutoffs - 00h00 (midnight) Friday night at CP Delta (approx. 48kms), 12h00 Saturday at CP Hotel (approx. 92kms) and 21h00 Saturday night at CP Juliet (approx. 133kms).
