Run Akaroa has Live Tracking - pop over to your relevant App store and search for the "Sportsplits Tracker".
Your name and number will be available to see from Friday 7th November.
All race numbers must be displayed on your front - please do not have your number underneath a jacket or attached to your back.
Race numbers must be visible at all times.
Your race number will have a timing chip attached - do not tamper with this.
Race numbers are strictly non-transferable.
Walkers are welcome in any of the events. We recommend walkers enter the Half Marathon or 10km events.
(Please bear in mind the cut-off times for each race distance.) Due to traffic management the section along Summit Road will close at 3:30pm.
There is no separate prize pool for walkers.
Run Akaroa is running under a Traffic Management Plan. Competitors must abide by marshal instructions at all times.
Any competitor who does not follow marshal instructions will be automatically disqualified.
We have experienced massage therapists on site to assist in your post-race recovery.
$25 for 15 minutes. You can book when you enter or bring cash on the day.
Pre Booked massages will get priority over those that book on the day. To avoid waiting, please pre-book during the registration process, or via our website.
The use of music devices is discouraged. The use of headphones restricts a competitors ability to hear marshal instructions, traffic, and other competitors.
Some music devices are designed to sit out of your actual ear - these are permitted. Alternatively, please run or walk with only one ear piece inserted.
The race courses offer the best views and experience for our competitors. For the safety of everyone competing in Run Akaroa road access is very limited.
Akaroa is a wonderful village and there are many things to do while the event is on. Supporters are encouraged to shop, dine, and enjoy local activities while the event is on.
