9-Hour Course Update – Safety & Timing

Due to the impact of Wednesday’s storm, the following changes are in place for all 9-hour teams:

Checkpoint 8 Cancelled
CP8 has been removed from the course. Teams will now cross the Rees River at CP7.

TA2 Cut-off for Full Course
To remain on the full course, teams must depart TA2 on the hiking stage by 3:00 pm.

Teams leaving TA2 after 3:00 pm must follow the short-course option and will not visit CP12 (Precipice Hill).

These adjustments are for safety and timing reasons. Please plan accordingly and follow all staff instructions.
