The Ultra Trail Jervis Bay Event Guide will outline the best areas to spectate and access checkpoints for Support Crews. Please note that the majority of the course is on publicly accessible trails and National Park areas. However, within certain areas of Booderee National Park there is very limited parking and road infrastructure. In order to keep the race safe and allow National Parks to approve the Event, there will be restrictions on support crews and spectators accessing these areas. It is a condition of Event entry that all Runners and their support crews make themselves aware and follow these restrictions, park only in designated areas and follow all road rules when spectating or supporting their Runners. We also ask support crews to make way for others once their Runners have moved on.
By entering the Event each Runner confirms that they have read and understand all Race Rules available HERE and agree to abide by these at all times. If a Runner breaches the Race Rules and the breach is deemed serious, at the sole discretion of the Event Organisers, the Runner may be disqualified immediately from the Event.
We want Runners to push themselves hard and do things they may have not thought as possible. Cut off times and first aid safety checks are there to keep Runners safe while pushing their boundaries. Please note that in the event that the medical safety team deem it unsafe for a Runner to continue, a Runner fails to meet cut off times or it’s clear that they will not meet the next cut off time, the Runner will be withdrawn from the Event. This is at the discretion of the Event Organisers based on medical advice.
All Runners confirm that they have read, understood and agreed to the Release of Liability and Acceptance of Risk document as part of the Entry process. This confirms that Runners understand the risks of participating in the Event and accept these. The Event Organisers do not have any responsibility for any personal property, travel costs, medical costs or any other costs borne by the Runners as part of, or as a consequence of, participating in the Event, nor are they responsible for any injury suffered as part of the Event. Support crews and spectators are responsible for their own safety and the their personal belongings.
By entering the Event, each Entrant acknowledges that the Race Organiser’s insurance coverage does not extend to any personal medical expenses incurred as a result of participation in the Event, including ambulance cover. Further, there is no insurance for any personal equipment, travel costs or any other costs incurred by the Entrant, their families or support crew. It is up to each Entrant to ensure they have relevant Health Insurance in place to cover any medical expenses, including ambulance cover. Note that the Event is fully supported by a first aid medical team. This is covered by Entry Fees – any first aid provided by the Event Organisers will not incur any additional costs for the Runner.
All Runners and their support crews agree to follow the directions of the Race Crew and Event Organisers during the Event. We ask all participants and their support crews to be kind to our Race Crew, volunteers and other runners. Behavior that is aggressive, disrespectful or negatively affects the experience or safety of other people or the environment will not be accepted and may result in a disqualification.
All runners and their support crews entering Booderee National Park agree to follow all Park Rules and direction of Park Rangers and staff – including purchasing park entry passes (note that the Runners park entry fees are part of the Entry price). Please check out Booderee National Park for all the details. It is up to the support crew to follow all road rules, parking rules and restrictions at all times when spectating or supporting their Runners.
By entering the Event, there is an acknowledgement that there may be circumstances beyond the control of the Event Organisers that preclude the Event from going ahead at the specified time and date. These include closure of Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay National Park or Shoalhaven Council managed areas due to public safety reasons – for instance due to bushfire or extreme weather events. In these circumstances, the Event Organisers will be working with Booderee National Park and National Parks ahead of the Event date and endeavour to communicate any potential cancellations or postponements as soon as is practical. If an alternate date is not possible the Event may be cancelled. Under these conditions, the Event Organisers do not guarantee any refunds or partial refunds of any Entry Fees.
