SUPPORT CREW RULES:

The Sydney Ultra Marathons welcomes support crews and spectators. You’re a huge part of what makes race day so special

Whether you're cheering from the sidelines or helping your runner at an aid station, you play a vital role in helping them reach the finish line

However, you don’t want to be the reason your runners gets disqualified or a time penalty. To avoid this, please follow all of the following support crew race rules:

  • Support crews can only assist their runners within aid station boundaries

  • Cheering is allowed anywhere on course, but no assistance is allowed outside of aid stations

  • Assistance includes giving nutrition, filling bottles, passing gear, or any other items

  • Pacing is not allowed. Running with your runner for more than 200 metres counts as pacing

  • Any runner receiving outside support or pacing may be disqualified or given a time penalty

  • No Support Crew access is allowed at Treeloppers Tip Trail Aid Station, as there is very limited parking nearby and that is reserved for aid station volunteers 

AID STATIONS

Support crews can assist their runners at all aid stations except for Tree Loppers Tip Trail Aid Station, which has very limited parking. This location is reserved for aid station volunteers only

Most aid stations are located within National Parks or bushland reserves. These areas often have paid parking and locked gates that close at specific times. Please follow all road rules and parking signs when supporting runners
