Because we’re a big trail community we wait until the majority of participants finish for each course before presenting awards.
We love when you hang out and enjoy the vibe at the Finish. Relax and have a chat while you refuel with food/coffee/drinks available at the Food Trucks.
We’ll have some fun games, spot prizes and announce all the giveaways. But you’ve gotta stick around to win and cheer on your fellow trail runners!

We provide course markings the whole way to help you stay on track! Our blue flagging tape in trees and PTS arrows guide you around the course,
and we expect you to follow the course markings at all times. Registered participants will receive the Event Brief email (with a downloadable Course Map)  the Wednesday prior to event day.

*Actual event day course may change – always follow course flagging on the day*

Trail Tips

Carpooling: One of the best things about these events is the community of runners! You guys! Woohoo! A great way to get to know each other better, is to ride share. It’s good for the environment. It’s good for accountability. No sleeping in when you’ve got 3 other runners to collect! It’s good for directions – 1 person navigates, while 1 controls the tunes, 1 keeps the convos flowing and 1 does the driving.

Nail The Downhills: Let’s nail the downhills by getting those legs ticking! Try and increase your cadence – do this by shortening your steps. Lean forward, rather than back. Try NOT to heel strike. Land midfoot or forefoot regardless of how you normally run. Control your speed by taking lots and lots of small steps (be light on your feet). Confidence is the key to getting down there like a pro. And don’t forget to Smile – it’s always the most important part of your form! 😊 

Some Rules To Remember

1. Disqualification (DQ) if caught littering or short-cutting/cheating.
2. Minimum 500mL hydration must be carried for the duration of the event and it’s a DQ if you’re caught without it. If you want to run without hydration there are great footpaths in the city 😉
3. Bibs cannot be given to someone else to participate on your behalf – your bib, your identity. If you did not enter this event, you aren’t allowed to run the course on the day. This is called “ghosting” and will result in being refused entry to future PTS events.
4. We highly discourage headphone use at this event – it is a risk to your safety.
5. Woohoo and have fun while on course, keeping in mind that trail etiquette is key at all PTS events. Look after each other out there!

Woohoo – thanks for coming out for Swissmurdie!
