Getting to the Start Line

Private vehicle drop-offs

Competitors can be dropped at their start line via private vehicle.

With Summit Road operating under a Traffic Management Plan, vehicles must drop and depart immediately - there is no parking or spectator access at the start.

This means the start line is reserved exclusively for competitors, creating a unique, uninterrupted race-day atmosphere shared only by those taking part.

Summit Road is open for access between 7:00am and 8:30am. After this time, the road will be closed to the public. This window allows vehicles to travel along Summit Road, drop competitors at their start points, and exit before each race begins.

"Bag Drop" is available at all start lines.
Toilets will be at all start lines.
