Castle Road Run
The organising committee of the annual Castle Road Run welcomes all entrants in the event. We hope the following details will provide you with all the necessary information to make your run as enjoyable as possible.
Before race day you will receive a registration card containing your personal details, the race event entered and your T-shirt size. Competitors must bring this registration card with them when they collect their race number. All runners, except those who have completed the four previous Castle Road Runs, will wear white T-shirts with red numbers on the back. Runners who are taking part in their fifth race will be identified with a green number instead of a red one. Please take the time to complete the questionnaire included on the back of the registration card in order to assist us in improving upcoming Castle Road Runs.
Entrants may change from the Full Run to the Half Run, or vice versa, up until 28th October. Please email details of the change to us. The $20 difference in entry fee will not be refunded for those changing from the Full Run to the Half Run, and it will be payable by those changing from the Half Run to the Full Run.
Due to safety requirements, the Castle council has imposed a maximum number of entrants. Entries received after this number is reached will be fully refunded.
All competitors must collect their race pack prior to the start of the event from North Lake Hotel, 12 Skelton Street, any day between the hours of 10am and 7pm. Competitors who do not come from the Castle region, please get in touch with the Race Manager personally or by email to arrange for collection of your race number and race pack.
Competitors may collect the race numbers and race packs of other competitors provided they bring the registration card for each competitor they wish to collect for.
