GOLDRUSH!!!!
Certainly some gold fever around! We have over 90 people are registered for tomorrow's Goldsborough Goldrush, and a record number in the marathon!

Tip 1 - carpooling is a great idea - comment below to get the ball rolling.

Other important details:

START TIMES:
6.30AM for Marathon runners
8:30AM for 5k, 10k and 17km runners (we may stagger 5 & 10k)

CHECK-IN: From 6:00AM (marathon); everyone else... after that.

WATER: Runners must be self-sufficient on all of the courses. Water at Goldsborough campground is not potable. We will have a couple of water drums but please bring your own full bottle with you to the start.

TOILETS: The day use toilets are not in use, but the campground toilets (a short walk from start/finish) are. There are also lots of trees.

MARATHON: There is no mandatory gear, but marathon runners should carry water and nutrition and be well prepared for some slow technical trail after the causeway, and decent elevation (1,115m overall). Water bottles can be refilled at the checkpoint at Babinda Boulders, or at creeks along the way.

PHONES: Mobile reception is patchy on course (marathon), and non-existent at our start-finish location.

AFTERWARDS! Stick around to debrief over a BBQ brunch/lunch
